Raina got into trouble last year in February after Youtuber Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks on his now-deleted web show “India’s Got Latent” led to a massive furore, both online and offline, with multiple police complaints filed against the two and those involved with the show.
In the show, Raina spoke about the fallout stemming from Allahbadia’s joke, the multiple FIRs and the public and political outrage that led him to delete all the episodes of his popular show form YouTube.
