As 2021 dawned, stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui was arrested from a club in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, for âmocking the deities of another religionâ and no one uttered a word about intolerance.
Faruqui was arrested by the Indore police after a complaint from Eklavya Goud, chief of Hindu Rakshak Sangathan and secretary of the state unit of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of Bharatiya Janata Party. He is the son of BJP MLA Malini Gaud.
Faruqui remained in jail for over a month, though the police had no evidence of his âcrimeâ. His bail plea was rejected two times, including by the Madhya Pradesh High Court, until he was granted bail on February 5 by the Supreme Court.

INDORE: Stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui and four others were arrested in Indore on Friday night for allegedly making indecent remarks at Hindu deities, the Godhra tragedy and Union home minister Amit Shah during a show at a café in the popular Chhappan Dukan area.
Munawar and others were produced before a court on Saturday and sent to jail for 15 days. There were rumours of a crowd attacking them after a video went viral, showing a couple of men beating a youngster who is sandwiched between two cops on a motorcycle. Police denied any of the suspects were beaten, and said the youth in the video is a “friend of the accused”.
