Shiv Sena functionary, 11 others held for ransacking Mumbai show venue; all get bail

Mumbai, Mar 24: Police on Monday arrested Shiv Sena functionary Rahul Kanal and 11 others for ransacking the venue at a Mumbai hotel where stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra made the controversial ‘traitor’ jibe against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

Hours later, a magistrate’s court granted bail to all of them. During his performance at the Habitat Comedy Club at the Unicontinental hotel in Khar area, Kamra had referred to Shinde, who heads the Shiv Sena, as a “traitor” and went on to sing a parody of him.
