Samay Raina felicitated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at a cyber-awareness event in Mumbai.

Stand-up comedian Samay Raina was recently felicitated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at a cyber-awareness event in Mumbai. The event, organised by Maharashtra Cyber, saw the launch of a short film titled Digital Arrest and the ‘1930 Maharashtra Cyber Anthem’.

After being felicitated, Raina, who had previously come under the scanner of Maharashtra Cyber in connection with the India’s Got Latent controversy, joked about his past association with the cybercrime wing. “Thank you for the felicitation, sir. My association with Maha Cyber has been going on for a very long time,” he said.

“1930 is really a great number. I have actually saved it because I often get calls from there,” Samay continued. He then said, “The Maha Cyber Cell is very active. I can tell you this for sure—whether you are there or whether you are in India, they will catch you,” before adding, “It’s a brilliant thing.”

During the address, Samay also shared, “Today, for the first time, it has happened that a Cyber Cell officer went to a comedian’s house and picked him up from his home, and this time there has been a felicitation.”

Besides Samay Raina, several other celebrities, including actors Pankaj Tripathi, Ashish Vidyarthi, Sharad Kelkar, Sonali Bendre, Javed Jaffrey and Mangesh Desai, singer Sunidhi Chauhan, were also felicitated for contributing to Maharashtra Cyber’s awareness campaign.

Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent Row

This comes a year after Samay faced legal troubles for Ranveer Allahbadia’s comments on India’s Got Latent. Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, during an episode of the show, allegedly asked a contestant an inappropriate question involving body parts and proposed an indecent act in exchange for Rs 2 crore. The outrage peaked when he posed a controversial question: “Would you watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join once to stop it forever?”

Following the incident, multiple police complaints were filed against Ranveer and Samay. They were accused of promoting obscene and sexually explicit content on the show, invoking multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Due to the controversy, Samay deleted all episodes of India’s Got Latent from YouTube and rescheduled his India tour.
