Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has skipped a third police summons in connection with a case filed over his alleged 'traitor' jibe at Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde. The controversy stems from a parody song Kamra performed in January 2025 and later uploaded to YouTube, indirectly targeting Shinde. Shinde’s supporters vandalized the venue in protest, prompting a defamation complaint. Mumbai Police had summoned Kamra thrice, but he failed to appear, citing death threats and security concerns. Kamra has refused to apologize, defending the performance as satire and a legitimate exercise of free speech. (PC: News 18)
