What Happened
Hindu Janajagruti Samiti urged Bengaluru police to deny permission for stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui's April 18 show titled 'Dhandho'. The group cited a 2021 Indore case where Faruqui faced charges under IPC sections for allegedly hurting religious sentiments. They referenced show cancellations in Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, and Hyderabad. Police said they haven't received the representation yet. Faruqui's previous Bengaluru performances were cancelled in November 2021 and August 2022.
