On Sunday (March 24), workers of Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) vandalized a hotel in Mumbai’s Khar area where stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra had filmed his show. The protest erupted after a video of Kamra went viral on social media, in which he seemingly referred to Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as a ‘traitor’ without mentioning his name.
