Kunal Kamra Shifts Bengaluru Shows Amid Hindutva Group Objections and Security Measures
Comedian Kunal Kamra held a stand-up show in Bengaluru's Koramangala amid heightened security following objections from Hindutva groups. After a petition by Hindu Rashtra Samanvaya Samiti led to the cancellation of his Whitefield shows, Kamra shifted his performances to Koramangala. Attendees experienced police barricades and frisking at the venue. Kamra acknowledged the security presence and thanked police, while some Hindutva activists continued to oppose his shows and appealed to authorities to prevent them.
