The Bombay High Court has issued notices to the Mumbai Police and Shiv Sena MLA Murji Patel in connection with a petition filed by stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra seeking to quash an FIR registered against him over a satirical remark made during one of his shows. The FIR, filed last month, accuses Kamra of referring to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as a “traitor” — a remark the comedian maintains was made in the context of political satire.

Shiv Sena youth leader Rahool N Kanal has urged online ticketing platform BookMyShow to stop selling tickets for comedian Kunal Kamra’s shows, citing concerns that his content could hurt public sentiment. Kanal wrote a letter to BookMyShow on April 2, highlighting what he described as Kamra’s “habitual offensive behavior.”

Maharashtra’s caretaker Chief Minister, Eknath Shinde, was rushed to a hospital in Thane on Tuesday following a deterioration in his health. Sources confirmed that Shinde, who has been battling a throat infection and fever since last week, was advised by doctors to undergo a thorough medical examination.

A Shiv Sena (UBT) leader faces legal action for alleged verbal abuse and threats against Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in a social media video, leading to an FIR based on a complaint filed by a Shiv Sena youth wing leader.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has stated that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will not face disqualification, and if such a scenario arises, Shinde will be elected as a Member of the Legislative Council, retaining his post. The Supreme Court is set to hear pleas regarding the disqualification of MLAs from rival factions of the Shiv Sena, and Fadnavis's reassurance comes amidst the ongoing legal proceedings.

In a surprising turn of events, Sanjay Raut, Member of Parliament from the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), has made bold claims regarding the political landscape of Maharashtra. Raut stated that Eknath Shinde, the current Chief Minister, is set to be removed from his post, while 16 rebel MLAs from the Shiv Sena face imminent disqualification. Furthermore, Raut asserted that Ajit Pawar, a prominent leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), is expected to assume the role of Chief Minister.
