FIR filed against 'India's Got Latent' contestant Jessy Nabam over controversial remarks
Mumbai: An FIR has been lodged against comedian Samay Raina’s YouTube show India's Got Latent following controversial remarks made by contestant Jessy Nabam, a resident of Arunachal Pradesh. During a recent episode, Samay Raina asked Jessy if she had ever eaten dog meat, to which she responded that she had not, but claimed that people from Arunachal Pradesh do.
She further added, "I know because my friends eat it. They even eat their pets at times." Although the panel, which included comedian Balraj Singh Ghai, took the comment in stride, Jessy stood by her statement, insisting that it was true.
The incident quickly went viral after videos surfaced on social media, drawing widespread backlash for her remarks. In response, an FIR was filed by Armaan Ram Welly Bakha, a resident of East Kameng District in Arunachal Pradesh, accusing Jessy of making derogatory comments about the state’s indigenous people.
The FIR, dated January 31, 2025, was submitted to the officer in charge of the Itanagar Police Station, with the complaint urging prompt action to prevent similar incidents in the future. Neither Samay Raina nor any of the other panelists have publicly responded to the FIR.

Belagavi youth’s murder case projected as road accident, cracked in Uttara Kannada; Three arrested
Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.
Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.
The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.
However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.
Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.
The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.
Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.
Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.
SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
