00:07Shiv Sena workers vandalized a hotel in Mumbai where comedian Kunal Kamra known for his stand
00:13up shows was recorded and demanding apology for his remarks on Maharashtra's Deputy Chief
00:21Minister Eknath Shinde.
00:22A case has been filed over the remarks.
00:25Senior Shiv Sena leader threatens to thrash the comedian.
00:29Shiv Sena workers vandalized the show venue, Uddhav Sena condemning the attack.
00:33Here's what's happening in Mumbai, in Maharashtra.
01:29Vidya, what exactly happened, tell us more and the details that are coming in, in this
01:45case.
01:46Well, what we have gotten to know is that there is this hotel in Khar, where this entire
01:51incident of, you know, Kunal Kamra conducting a show had come to the fore and, you know,
02:00of course, you know, he made a comment on the Deputy Chief Minister, which the Shiv
02:05Sena did not really like, did not find it of a good taste and that's one of the reasons
02:09why Shiv Sena ransacked the hotel where this entire incident had happened.
02:15Remember, this is also the place where, you know, sometime back, the latent show, if you
02:22remember, that India's Got Latent show had been shot, this is also because it's the same
02:27building where this entire incident has happened.
02:30And also, immediately after the incident, the police got into action.
02:35They have promised to take action against those who have ransacked this entire hotel.
02:39At this juncture, though, no one has been arrested according to what we have gotten
02:43to know.
02:44Vidya, please stay on, we have one more reaction coming in, let's listen into that as well.
03:14Alright, so this is what is happening.
03:42This is the situation, we are told that deployment has happened there on the ground as well.
03:48Vidya joins me for the latest on this.
03:51Vidya, so I believe I can see that the visuals of perhaps heightened deployment on this,
03:57any word from Kunal Kamra yet?
04:01And clearly, law and order and heightened tensions and tempers, a big highlight these
04:07days in Maharashtra.
04:09Of course, you know, though this is not the first time, any moment we have seen, there
04:14have been instances where chauvinists have ransacked the hotels, offices or, you know,
04:21if there's been a comment that they find not to be in good faith against their own leader.
04:27So this is one of the, in the series where we have seen that entire hotel, where this
04:32entire shoot of Kunal Kamra's show was happening, that there, that was ransacked and as of now,
04:39though Kunal Kamra has not yet reacted, but, you know, Shiv Sainik's like, we have seen
04:45Sanjay Nirakam put out a tweet saying that at around 11 he'll be speaking against it
04:49and as he says, Kunal Kamra will be, you know, they'll, they'll speak, he'll speak a lot
04:56about him.
04:57So of course, you know, Shiv Sainik's not taking it down.
05:00They will be speaking against Kamra further, as we have seen earlier also, they do not
05:06let it go for many days until, you know, the police makes any arrest or anything like that.
05:12So this of course is not going to settle down soon and we will be seeing much activity happening
05:19around this incident.
05:20All right, Vidya, keep tracking the latest on that.
05:22So this is Fresh Rao, a comment that stand-up comedian, he's been, he's been in the controversy
05:28on different issues as well.
05:30This time over a comment he made on Deputy Chief Minister and has led to the vandalism
05:36at the venue where he used to perform.
