An FIR was registered against stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra in Thane district of Maharashtra for allegedly defaming Shiv Sena head and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, police said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Mr Kamra was booked under section 356(2) (defamation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on a complaint lodged by a Shiv Sena functionary at Dombivli police station on Monday.<\/p>\n

The complaint stated that the Sena functionary came across the defamatory video clip against Shinde after opening an online link, an official said.<\/p>\n

Mr Kamra had kicked up a row with his “traitor” jibe at Shinde, an apparent reference to the 2022 Shiv Sena split, during his show recorded at a studio in the basement of a hotel in Mumbai.<\/p>\n

The remarks and parody song invited violent reaction from Shiv Sena workers who on Sunday vandalised the studio.<\/p>\n

Mumbai Police had booked the comedian on a complaint of a Shiv Sena MLA for allegedly making defamatory remarks and issued a notice seeking his personal appearance.<\/p>\n

Separately, police registered a case against 40 Shiv Sena workers for vandalising the Habitat studio in the Khar area and arrested 12 workers on Monday. A local court granted them bail the same day.<\/p>\n
