The reality show India’s Got Latent, hosted by Samay Raina, is facing legal issues following controversial comments made by a contestant, Jessy Nabam, from Arunachal Pradesh.
During a members-only episode, Samay Raina asked Jessy if she had ever eaten dog meat, to which she responded that the people of Arunachal Pradesh consume it, though she claimed to have never tasted it herself.
She further stated, "I know because my friends eat it. They even eat their pets at times," which led to a strong reaction from the panel.
While Raina appeared shocked, comedian Balraj Singh Ghai questioned the authenticity of her claim. Jessy stood by her statement.
The comments have sparked outrage, and an FIR has been filed against Jessy Nabam. The complaint, filed by Armaan Ram Welly Bakha, a resident of Arunachal Pradesh, accuses Jessy of making derogatory remarks about the indigenous people of the region.
The FIR, dated January 31, 2025, was lodged at the Itanagar Police Station, and the complainant has requested swift action to prevent similar incidents in the future.
