Comedian Kunal Kamra questioned Mumbai police about upholding the law during a potential protest
Kamra said his proposed performance would be held peacefully indoors, at a venue with 100 consenting adults and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
MUMBAI: Comedian Kunal Kamra on Sunday asked Mumbai police when he could perform his stand-up in the “entertainment capital”, questioning whether the force would uphold the law if a mob tried to disrupt his show. “I… appreciate that Mumbai police has many important responsibilities — maintaining law and order, preventing crime, managing traffic, watching India’s Got Latent and, occasionally, deciding whether I am allowed to tell jokes in a room,,” Kamra said in a post on X, tagging Mumbai police. “All I’m asking is if 40-50 humourless people turn up to cancel/disrupt the show or harm the venue, will you allow the hecklers to exercise their veto? . ..Are you with the mob or are you with the law?”
