Indore Session Court Rejects Bail Plea Of Comedian Munawar Faruqui

Accused of making objectionable remarks on Hindu deities, stand-up comic Munawar Faruqui's bail plea has been rejected by an Indore’s Session Court. Stating the "bail will create a law and order situation" and will give a "wrong message", the court denied to bail to him and co-accused Nalin Yadav. While the Tukoganj police said that the comments made by Munawar were preplanned, the court noted that the show violated COVID-19 guidelines.
