Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra is facing multiple FIRs for allegedly mocking Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde during a comedy show in Mumbai. His satirical performance led to police action, with multiple summonses issued for questioning. Meanwhile, Shinde’s supporters vandalized the show’s venue. Kamra sought legal protection and was granted interim anticipatory bail by the Madras High Court until April 7. Police have also summoned audience members as witnesses. Kamra criticized the legal actions as unnecessary and has refused to apologize. The case has sparked debate on free speech and political satire in India. (PC: Kunal Kamra)
