CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Mumbai Police has issued a notice to a banker in connection with comedian Kunal Kamra’s alleged defamatory post regarding Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The banker, who was on vacation, was forced to cut short his trip and return to join the police investigation. The controversy began when Kamra shared a satirical post referring to Shinde as a “gaddar” (traitor), a term often used in Maharashtra’s political discourse.
The authorities initiated a probe after complaints were filed, leading to the banker’s involvement as part of the investigation. The incident has sparked discussions about freedom of speech, political satire, and the role of law enforcement in handling such cases. Critics argue that summoning a private citizen for sharing content on social media raises concerns about overreach, while supporters claim that defamatory content should not be taken lightly. As the investigation unfolds, questions remain about the broader implications for digital expression and political criticism in India.
