Ranveer Allahbadia issues new statement amid controversy: 'I'm scared but won't run away'

Dubai: YouTuber and content creator Ranveer Allahbadia, who has faced intense backlash following his controversial comments on Samay Raina's show 'India’s Got Latent', has once again addressed the situation on Instagram.

He assured his followers that he is fully cooperating with authorities and has no intention of evading the matter.

In an Instagram post, Allahbadia acknowledged the seriousness of his remarks, stating, "My remark about parents was insensitive and disrespectful. It is my moral responsibility to do better, and I am genuinely sorry."  

Despite these challenges, Allahbadia emphasised that he is fully cooperating with authorities and will follow due process. "I'm not running away. I have full faith in the police and the judicial system of India," he stated

Allahbadia revealed that he has been receiving death threats and that his family's safety is at risk. He shared that individuals have even invaded his mother's clinic, posing as patients.

"I'm watching death threats pour in from people saying that they want to kill me and hurt my family. People have invaded my mother’s clinic posing as patients. I’m feeling scared and I don’t know what to do. But I’m not running away. I have full faith in the police and the judicial system of India," Ranveer said.

Both the Mumbai and Assam Police are investigating the matter, with officers visiting Allahbadia’s residence, which was found locked. A notice was left, requesting his appearance soon. Allahbadia has now approached the Supreme Court seeking protection from coercive actions, challenging the multiple FIRs filed against him.

The controversy erupted after Allahbadia’s controversial remarks on Samay Raina’s show went viral, sparking widespread backlash and police complaints. Investigators have already recorded statements from several individuals connected to the show. In the wake of public outrage, police complaints have been filed against Ranveer and others involved with the show in both Mumbai and Guwahati.
