The Mumbai Police on Monday filed a first information report (FIR) against stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra for allegedly making defamatory remarks against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister (CM) Eknath Shinde during a show, officials said.

According to news agency PTI, the police also registered a case against around 40 Shiv Sena workers for allegedly vandalising the Habitat Studio in the Khar area of Mumbai — where Kunal Kamra's show with the "gaddar (traitor)" jibe at Shinde was filmed — as well as a hotel in whose premises the studio is located, they said.
