Karnataka High Court Rebukes Police Over Arrest Related to Kunal Kamra Show Cancellation
The Karnataka High Court criticized the Whitefield Police for illegally arresting and detaining Mohan Gowda, who celebrated the cancellation of comedian Kunal Kamra's show in Bengaluru. Gowda, affiliated with the Hindu Rashtra Samanvaya Samithi, had opposed the show and posted on social media calling its cancellation a "victory for Hindu unity." The police registered a suo motu case against him and took him into custody under questionable procedures. The court directed senior police officials to address such violations and warned of disciplinary actions for illegal detentions.
