Controversy details
Allahbadia's controversial remarks sparked outrage
The NCW had taken cognizance of the comments made by Allahbadia, Mukhija, etc., on comic Samay Raina's show which sparked nationwide public outrage last month.
Several FIRs were filed against Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, for his controversial joke on parental intercourse.
In the wake of the controversy, Raina deleted all the episodes of IGL from YouTube.

After appearing before the NCW, Allahbadia went to Guwahati to record his statement with the Crime Branch.
This was after the Guwahati Police registered an FIR against him for his controversial remarks.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has permitted Allahbadia to continue airing his YouTube show, The Ranveer Show.
However, he has been asked to conform to norms of "morality and decency."
