A viewer has filed a cybercrime complaint against BGMI veteran Abhijeet “Ghatak” Andhare over a sexually explicit slur he used on a live stream. The remark came during a Bigg Boss 20 watch party on RNTX co-owner Rohit Jagasia’s Kick channel. The 15-second clip, which spread on X from Saturday night, shows Ghatak complaining that someone is acting respectable, saying “he is not my father”, and then using a crude Hindi slur about that person’s mother. Others in the room can be heard laughing. The users who shared the clip say he was talking about Salman Khan, the show’s host, although the clip itself does not show who he meant.
The viewer posted screenshots of what he said was a complaint on India’s National Cybercrime Reporting Portal, and tagged Mumbai Police, the government’s CyberDost account and the National Commission for Women. He asked for an FIR and for Ghatak’s streaming account to be suspended. TalkEsport has not been able to confirm whether the complaint was registered, and police have not said whether they are looking into it. Ghatak, Rohit Jagasia and Kick have not responded publicly.
What Ghatak said, and why it has landed so badly
TalkEsport translated the clip from Hindi using the platform’s automatic captions, which can occasionally mishear words. Ghatak first says someone is “becoming so respectable”, then adds that “he is not my father”, before using a slur. The remark comes during a live watch party, with an RNT logo on the wall behind him, in front of an audience that includes many young fans.
The setting has made the clip worse for those involved. The watch party was for a show that features ScoutOP, the RNTX co-owner who became the first Indian esports star to enter the Bigg Boss house. His time on the show has kept him trending for weeks. Ghatak joined Revenant XSpark as director of esports and community in 2024, before the brand became RNTX, and the fans who shared the clip describe him as part of RNTX today. A slur aimed at the host of the show Scout is competing on is not the kind of attention his camp needed.
It also lands in the middle of a week in which RNTX was already in the headlines. Rohit Jagasia had just rejected GodLike co-owner Kronten’s claim that Scout owns only a small slice of RNTX, saying Scout owns half of it. Clips from Ghatak’s own first Kick stream, shared over the weekend, show him addressing the separate Kronten and Jonathan row as well.
India has already drawn a line on vulgarity online, and streamers keep crossing it
India’s creator economy went through this argument less than two years ago. In February 2025, the India’s Got Latent controversy led to police complaints against several creators, and the Supreme Court publicly criticised the remarks at the centre of the case. Within days, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued an advisory telling online platforms to follow the code of ethics under the IT Rules and to keep age-inappropriate content away from children.
Gaming streams have mostly stayed out of that debate, even though abuse is routine on many of them. Live formats make it easy to say things that would never survive an edit, and chat rewards the loudest moments. Kick, which has grown quickly among Indian creators this year, publishes its own community guidelines on harassment and hateful conduct, and the complaint asks it to apply them.
There is a wider cost for Indian esports too. The scene has spent years asking brands, governments and parents to take it seriously, and livestreamed abuse from its best-known names undoes that work quickly. TalkEsport has previously argued that the industry needs a referee for the disputes it now fights out on stream, and conduct on those streams belongs in that conversation.
A portal complaint is not an FIR, and the next move belongs to the police, Kick and RNTX
A complaint on the cybercrime portal is only a first step, and it does not mean police have registered a case. Under the IT Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, online content can attract action for obscenity or for insulting a woman’s modesty, but police would first have to decide whether the remark meets those tests. Kick can act on its own guidelines regardless, and RNTX can decide whether its director’s conduct on a company stream fits the organisation. RNTX has not said whether it will review the stream, and Ghatak has not addressed the complaint in any clip TalkEsport has seen.
