Bengaluru Police Book Right-Wing Leader for False Claims on Kunal Kamra Show
Bengaluru police have registered a case against Mohan Gowda, a right-wing leader, for allegedly spreading false information on social media about comedian Kunal Kamra's show.

Police clarified the show was shifted by organisers, not cancelled, and no such assurances were given. Authorities cited Gowda's posts as misleading and potentially causing public confusion.
