On Saturday, Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut called for special protection for stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, following the filing of three additional cases against him at the Khar police station due to his controversial comments about Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Raut emphasized that, similar to the protection accorded to BJP MP Kangana Ranaut during her dispute with the Shiv Sena, Kamra should also receive the same level of security.

“I urge the Maharashtra government to extend special protection to Kunal Kamra. Just as Kangana Ranaut was provided security forces during her disagreements with us, Kamra deserves the same treatment,” Raut stated.

Meanwhile, three new FIRs have been lodged against Kamra. One complaint comes from the Mayor of Jalgaon, while two others were filed by a hotelier and a businessman from Nashik, according to the Mumbai police. The police have summoned Kamra to appear at the Khar police station for further questioning on March 31; however, he failed to comply.

In a related development, the Madras High Court granted interim anticipatory bail to Kunal Kamra on Friday in connection with a case involving remarks allegedly targeted at Deputy CM Eknath Shinde. In his petition, Kamra claimed he has been residing in Tamil Nadu since 2021 and expressed his fear of arrest and potential mistreatment by the Mumbai police, as well as threats to his safety from Eknath Shinde’s faction of the Shiv Sena.

Listing out the threats he has received, Kamra conveyed to the Madras High Court his concerns that Shiv Sainiks might harm him or his family. He also stated that he was apprehensive about being arrested by the Mumbai police and subjected to physical torture while waiting for anticipatory bail from the Bombay High Court.

Furthermore, during a press interaction in Pune on Thursday, Maharashtra Tourism Minister Shambhuraj Desai voiced demands for Kamra’s arrest and suggested he should be “put in a tyre and given prasad.”

“We have been instructed by Shinde to exercise restraint, which is why we remain silent. As Shiv Sena members, we know how to retrieve him from his hiding place, but as ministers, we are constrained. We want to warn the police: do not test our patience; catch him wherever he is, put him in a tyre, and give him ‘prasad’,” the Sena leader added. Here, ‘prasad’ refers not only to a religious offering but is also used colloquially to imply physical punishment.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
