Mumbai comedy club ransacked after performer’s joke about local politician

Shiv Sena party supporters tore apart the Habitat comedy club after Kunal Kamra's satirical song about a top minister

A mob violently ransacked a Mumbai comedy club and its building has been partly demolished after one of India's most prominent comedians performed a satirical song about a local ruling politician during a performance there.

Kunal Kamra has a reputation for his acerbic comedy which often pokes fun at political figures. Few comedians in India dare to make political jokes for risk of a backlash.
