Arrested before he could perform : How Munawar Faruqui spent a month in jail

Anubhooti Gupta As 2021 dawned, stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui was arrested from a club in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, for “mocking the deities of another religion” 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 “crime”. 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.
