Twelve men who were taken into custody for allegedly belonging to the Shiv Sena and vandalizing a comedy club where Kunal Kamra performed on March 23rd have been accorded bail by a court in the Bandra the surrounding area of Mumbai. The next day, Kamra’s performance site was entirely looted by a group of political workers who threatened Kamra with severe repercussions for his remarks.

Indignant by Kamra’s claimed claims that Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde was a “traitor” in his comedy, probably alluding to his break with the Shiv Sena, the police detained Shiv Sena functionary Rahul Kanal and eleven other people for vandalizing the venue.

A top officer from Khar Police Station stated that an additional complaint has also been filed disregarding comedian Kamra, which is being looked into by the police, and that twelve people had been imprisoned for their involvement with the violence that broke out, despite Kamra’s skit not naming Shinde. The references were perceived as being directed right away at the Deputy CM.
