NEW DELHI: In the wake of his controversial remarks on the YouTube show “India’s Got Latent,” YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, has come under intense scrutiny. When police teams from Mumbai and Assam arrived at his Mumbai residence for questioning, they found the flat locked and his phone switched off.
Despite the locked residence, Allahbadia has posted on X that he is not evading authorities.

However, netizens remain skeptical of his intentions. The resurfacing of an old interview with Priyanka Chopra, where she emphasizes the importance of family values, has added fuel to the fire.
Many online users interpret Allahbadia’s current predicament as a consequence of his own actions, suggesting he is “reaping what he has sown.”
From fitness vlogs to selling Dharma—Ranveer Allahabadia’s journey isn’t about spirituality, it’s about strategy. A Shiva Bhakt one day, asking lewd questions the next. Is this devotion or just another profit-driven facade?https://t.co/NFyZYDnT5W

As social and responsible people, we need to show what a person deserves. Right now, #RanveerAllahbadia doesn’t deserve to be respected and followed. So unfollowing will be a msg to him. Pls take a social act against the bad social star. Spread it. #Beerbiceps pic.twitter.com/oveug38JwE
