💨 Abstract

Indian stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra is under police scrutiny for a performance criticizing a key politician, raising concerns about free speech in India. The comedian refused to apologize for a parody song about a "traitor," which some believe refers to Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde. Shinde's party members ransacked the performance site, and Kamra declined to appear before police due to death threats.
