Stand-up comic Munawar Faruqui, in jail for allegedly "insulting Hindu Gods and Goddesses" during a show, will not be released on bail, the Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled on January 28. The court said there was no evidence so far that he had not committed the crime. The court rejected the comedian's argument that he had made no offensive comment in his show on the day he was arrested, saying investigations were on & more incriminating evidence could show up. Munawar Faruqui, 29, was arrested along with five other comedians in Indore on January 2, on a complaint by Eklvaya Singh Gaur, the son of a BJP MLA. All six were accused of making "filthy and indecent jokes" about Hindu gods & goddesses, as well as Home Minister Amit Shah. Watch the video to know more.
