Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has sought more time to appear before the Mumbai Police, sources close to Kamra revealed. The comedian has received at least 500 threats wherein the callers threatened to kill him and cut him into pieces, an NDTV report said.
Sources said that Kamra sought a week’s time to join the investigation. The Mumbai police asked him to do it as soon as possible. Kamra is reportedly staying in Tamil Nadu’s Puducherry.
Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske said, “He will get the ‘Prasad’. Shiv Sainiks will give the ‘prasad’ to him. Shiv Sainik means reaction. He will get the reaction.”

Kamra allegedly made disparaging remarks against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, in his latest standup comedy special.
Following this, the Shiv Sena workers vandalised the Mumbai venue after Kamra’s remarks about Eknath Shinde on Sunday.
Meanwhile, standup artiste Kunal Kamra released a statement on his official social media handle and stated that he would not “apologise” for his act.
Reacting to the ongoing tussle due to his remarks about Eknath Shinde in his latest YouTube video, Kamra stated that an entertainment venue is merely a platform and is not “responsible” for his comedy.
“An entertainment venue is merely a platform. A space for all sorts of shows. Habitat (or any other venue) is not responsible for my comedy, nor does it have any power or control over what I say or do. Neither does any political party. Attacking a venue for a comedian’s words is as senseless as overturning a lorry carrying tomatoes because you didn’t like the butter chicken you were served,” Kamra’s statement read.
