FIR against Hindu Janajagruti Samiti member for ‘false’ claim regarding Kunal Kamra show

Mohan Gowda, a member of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, has been booked under Indian law for allegedly spreading false information about comedian Kunal Kamra's show. The FIR was filed by Bengaluru police after a constable monitoring social media at the Whitefield police station found Gowda's claims misleading. Gowda alleged that the show was canceled due to pressure from the Samiti, claiming that Kamra had insulted Hindu deities and Lord Ram. However, a senior police officer clarified that the inspector did not assure action against the organizer or Kamra, and the show was canceled by the organizer. The police have invoked Sections 217 and 353(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, accusing Gowda of providing false information and making statements conducive to public mischief.
