The Karnataka High Court has raised serious concerns over the alleged unlawful detention of an activist by the Whitefield Police. Noting a pattern of procedural violations at the station, the court highlighted that the activist was apprehended following a Facebook post celebrating a canceled show. The police initiated action under a suo motu case, lacking a formal complaint, prompting authorities to demand clarifications on these irregularities.

Comedian Kunal Kamra questioned Mumbai police about upholding the law during a potential protest. He asked if the police would protect his peaceful indoor performance from disruption. Kamra's previous show in 2025 faced protests and vandalism after controversial jokes. Shiv Sena workers had protested his 'Naya Bharat' show, leading to venue damage. He is also facing a breach of privilege motion from a BJP MLC.
