A comedy show by stand-up comedian, Samay Raina, titled India’s Got Latent seems to be mired in legal troubles. An FIR has been registered concerning an objectionable comment made by one of the contestants from the show. ‘India’s Got Latent’ is a popular show, which is streamed on YouTube.
People of Arunachal eat dog meat
Actually, in this show, Jessie Nabam, a resident of Arunachal Pradesh, commented on the food of her state. During the ‘Member Only’ episode, Samay Raina asked her if she had ever eaten dog meat. Jessie, while answering this question, says ‘People of Arunachal Pradesh eat dog meat, but I have never tasted it.’ Taking her point further, Jessie says I know because my friends eat it. They sometimes even eat their pets. Hearing this, Samay is surprised, while the other judge of the show, Balraj, says that you are saying this just for the sake of saying. Then Jessie asserts that what she is saying is true.
Demand for immediate action in FIR
The copy of the viral FIR on social media shows that the case was registered on January 31. The complaint has been made by Arman Ram Veli Bakha, a resident of the East Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh. The FIR is addressed to the in-charge of Itanagar Police Station.
