Kamra's recent performance at The Habitat Comedy Club in Khar featured a parody song that allegedly mocked Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The act, which included the term "gaddar" , has been interpreted as a direct assault on the state's political stability. In response, Shiv Sena loyalists expressed their discontent by vandalizing the venue, an action they deemed appropriate retribution for the comedian's audacity.
The Mumbai Police, demonstrating unwavering commitment to preserving public order, issued a summons to Kamra, demanding his immediate presence for a thorough interrogation. Despite Kamra's plea for a week's extension, citing credible threats to his life, the authorities remained resolute, dismissing his concerns as secondary to the pressing need for justice.
In a display of defiance, Kamra released a new video juxtaposing footage of the Shiv Sena's vandalism with a satirical rendition of "Hum Honge Kamyaab," aptly retitled "Hum Honge Kangaal" . This act of creative resistance has only intensified the controversy, prompting further scrutiny from law enforcement agencies.
Legal experts have weighed in on the matter, with Kamra's counsel asserting that the current climate renders it unsafe for the comedian to travel to Mumbai. The Madras High Court has intervened, granting interim anticipatory bail and instructing both Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu police to refrain from any coercive action against Kamra until April 7.
