Samay Raina has been the most controversial person for a while now in India. It all began when Ranveer Allahbadia made a comment on Raina’s show ‘India’s Got Latent’, which was considered offensive by many people and led to multiple FIRs being filed against Samay, Ranveer and other panelists in the episode.

On Thursday night, Samay announced that he will be rescheduling his India tour, despite the tickets being sold out. Samay took to Instagram to share this news with his fans. In the social media post he wrote, “Hello guys, I am rescheduling my India tour. You all will get the refunds shortly, see you soon”.

Originally, Samay was scheduled to perform at Talkatora Stadium in Delhi on March 21 and 23. His shows in Ahmedabad and Surat were also cancelled due to the threats by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad. Additionally, his March–April performances in Bengaluru, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Mumbai have been cancelled.

The apex court also slammed Samay Raina, who had joked during a show in Canada, that the ticket sales were helping him fund his legal aid, saying, “These youngsters are being overly smart. They think we are probably an outdated generation. One of them has gone to Canada and spoken there. They don't know the jurisdiction which this Court enjoys and what probably can be done.”

Samay Raina has been called twice for questioning but has not yet made a statement, so he is scheduled to be questioned at the Maharashtra Cyber Cell shortly. Statements have already been made by Ashish Chanchlani and Ranveer Allahbadia, the primary accused in the case.
