AIB Knockout Gets Roasted By Maharashtra Government

We all enjoyed the ‘AIB Knockout’ Roast on Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. But now, the makers of the video and the participants have been pulled in a legal tussle. 

Maharashtra government has ordered an inquiry on the show and a police complaint has been launched Karan Johar, Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, and others for using "filthy and abusive language" during the event.

Maharashtra Cultural Affairs Minister Vinod Tawde said, "Officials of the Culture Department will examine the (AIB show) videos for the content. If found vulgar, an action will be initiated." 

Akhilesh Tiwari, president of Brahman Ekta Seva Sanstha in Mumbai, has filed a complaint at Sakinaka police station.

Tiwari said, "I have handed over a letter to Sakinaka police demanding a criminal complaint be lodged against these so-called youth icons Karan Johar, Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. The show, which can be seen on YouTube and other websites, was extremely abusive and it is not only ruining the clean image of the Indian culture and women but is also misleading today's youth." 

"I sought action against the event organisers and other performers as well, who passed dirty comments with such audacity. The police action would be a deterrent to them so that they would not dare to do such acts publicly in future," he added.

Senior Inspector at Sakinaka police station, Prasanna More said, “We have received the written complaint. We are inquiring into the matter. Once we reach a conclusion, appropriate action would be initiated, if required."
