Mob Ransacks Mumbai Comedy Club After Politician Mocked

News summary

A violent mob attacked The Habitat comedy club in Mumbai following a performance by comedian Kunal Kamra, who mocked Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, calling him a 'traitor' in a parody song. The incident, which occurred after the show on Sunday, involved supporters of Shinde's Shiv Sena party vandalizing the venue, leading to significant damage and a police investigation into both the vandalism and Kamra's comments. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis condemned the comedian's remarks, stating that while comedy is allowed, it should not insult leaders, and authorities are pursuing a defamation complaint against Kamra. The Habitat announced it would close indefinitely to reassess its platform for free expression while ensuring safety. The situation reflects a broader climate of fear among comedians in India, where political backlash against humor is increasingly common. Kamra has yet to respond directly to the accusations but has hinted at his stance on free speech through social media.
