While popular YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia (Beer Biceps), Ashish Chanchlani, Samay Raina and others are facing cases for allegedly promoting obscenity, another YouTuber from Assam, Abhishek Kar, has been summoned and interrogated over derogatory remarks about women and black magic during a YouTube podcast.
The Assam CID summoned Kar for questioning in Guwahati after his statements sparked massive outrage, with even Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma taking note and directing police action.
The controversy erupted after Kar, while appearing on Riya Upreti’s podcast, claimed that women from Mayong, Assam, practice black magic and can turn men into goats before seducing them.
His statement was met with severe backlash from netizens and the people of Assam, who criticized the stereotyping and misinformation about the state’s culture.
The controversy escalated when Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took cognizance of the matter and directed Assam Police to take action.
Following his questioning by CID in Guwahati, Kar has been summoned again today for further interrogation.
In response to the backlash, he issued a public apology.
Kar has 1.86 million YouTube subscribers and 2.9 million Instagram followers.
