Mumbai Police on Monday arrested Shiv Sena functionary Rahool Kanal and 11 others<\/a> for vandalising Habitat Studio, where stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra<\/a> recorded his latest video in which he referred to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as a “gaddar<\/em>” (traitor).<\/p>\n

A local court granted them bail the same day.<\/p>\n

Mr Kanal, a prominent youth leader, led the attack late Sunday night, allegedly in response to Kamra’s parody song mocking the Deputy Chief Minister.<\/p>\n
