NEW DELHI: Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra approached the Bombay high court on Monday seeking to quash the FIR filed against him over his indirect reference to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as a ‘traitor’ during a recent performance.
The remark led to a controversy, with Shiv Sena workers vandalising Mumbai’s Habitat Studio, where Kamra had performed the set.
Kamra filed a quashing petition before the Bombay HC against the FIR registered at Khar police station over his show. Senior counsel Navroz Seervai is expected to mention the matter for urgent hearing and seek interim relief against any coercive action by the police.
