INDORE: A sessions court on Tuesday denied bail to stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui who is booked for hurting religious feelings by making derogatory comments against Hindu god and goddess. The court of first additional sessions Judge Yatindra Kumar Guru accepted the police argument that it might create a law-and-order situation if he gets bail.
Police expressed suspicion that the show might have been part of a “planned programme” in the backdrop of recent violence in Ujjain and Indore districts. “Some time ago, a law-and-order situation had arisen due to comments and actions made by a particular community. In such a situation, Munawar Faruqui made insulting comments on a particular religion, culture in the name of a comedy show, which seems to be a pre-planned programme,” the court said in its order, quoting police arguments.
