Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has been granted interim anticipatory bail by the Madras High Court until April 7, following controversy over his recent video mocking Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The video, titled "Naya Bharat," features Kamra parodying a song to label Shinde a "gaddar" (traitor), referencing Shinde's political actions.
