Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has alleged that ministers in the Maharashtra state cabinet are openly issuing threats against stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, calling for him to be "shot and hanged immediately" over his controversial remarks regarding Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Raut expressed concerns over Kamra’s security, stating that certain cabinet ministers were advocating extreme action against him. He strongly criticised Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for failing to intervene in what he described as blatant lawlessness.
