Comedian Kunal Kamra refused to apologise for his joke on Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, stating he would cooperate with police but adhere to the law. Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) workers vandalised a Mumbai studio where Kamra performed, leading to 11 arrests. An FIR was filed against Kamra following a complaint by Shinde Sena MLA Murji Patel. Opposition leaders, including Uddhav Thackeray and Jaya Bachchan, defended Kamra, condemning attacks on free speech. Meanwhile, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis demanded Kamra apologise, stating insults against leaders won’t be tolerated. (PC: X/kunalkamra88)
