Ashish Chanchlani steps back from hosting Captain America Brave New World screening amid India's Got Latent row

YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani announced on Instagram that he would not attend the Captain America: Brave New World screening on Valentine's Day. This decision comes amid legal troubles after Mumbai police charged him, Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and other guests on India’s Got Latent for the words that were used in it.

Ashish Chanchlani steps back from hosting.

While Ashish did not mention his legal trouble, he stated that he would not be able to host the screening due to ill health. He wrote, “Hello Doston, I am not keeping well, so unfortunately I won't be able to attend & host the screening of the film "Captain America: Brave New World" on Valentine's Day. But, don't worry, those who are selected can still go & enjoy the show. I know, I am gonna miss y'all so much! Love you 3000.”

What Exactly happened?

Ranveer Allahbadia commented on one of the episodes of India’s Got Latent that featured Ashish, Samay, Apoorva Makhija, and others. Accordingly, the Mumbai police recorded statements from seven persons, including Ashish, on Thursday. It was reported that the Assam Police has issued fresh summons to Ashish, Ranveer, Apoorva, Jaspreet Singh, and others based on a complaint that they are promoting wrong things that might harm the youth. A senior Assam Police official confirmed that a team had been sent to Mumbai to conduct further investigations.
