Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has been in the news for some time. Now Kunal Kamra has knocked on the door of the Bombay High Court, causing the comedians to make the headlines once again. Kunal has approached the High Court demanding the cancellation of the FIR lodged by the Mumbai Police. This is the whole matter related to the ‘traitor’ comment. Which we are going to learn now.
Why did Kamra knock the High Court door?
In fact, Kunal Kamra is accused of making ‘anti-national’ comments against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at a stand-up comedy show. After this, activists of Shiv Sena Shinde faction created a lot of uproar. Now in this case, Kamra has approached the High Court and demanded the cancellation of the FIR lodged by the Mumbai Police.
What is the whole matter?
Kunal Kamra criticized Eknath Shinde in one of her shows without naming her. He changed a song from the film ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’ and used the word ‘traitors’ in the revised version. He also made fun of Shinde to revolt against Uddhav Thackeray. Angered by this comment, Shiv Sena MLA Murji Patel filed a complaint against the comedian. The Mumbai Police then filed an FIR against Kunal yesterday under sections 353 (1) (B) and 356 (2) of the Indian Penal Code.
Police summons has not been replied yet.
The Mumbai Police has so far called Kunal for questioning three times, but he has not yet appeared to record his statement. Kunal is a permanent resident of Tamil Nadu and last month he obtained an interim transit anticipatory bail from the Madras High Court in the case. Now he is demanding that the Bombay High Court completely cancel this FIR.
