Shiv Sena workers vandalized a hotel in Mumbai’s Khar area on Sunday in response to a remark made during stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra’s show, where Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde was referred to as a ‘gaddar’ (traitor), according to police reports. The incident led to chaos at the venue, prompting law enforcement to intervene. Authorities are investigating the matter, while the incident has sparked debates over freedom of speech and political sensitivity in Maharashtra.
Shiv Sena workers stormed Hotel Unicontinental, the filming location of the show, demanding an FIR against comedian Kunal Kamra. Following the incident, all workers gathered at Khar Police Station to file a complaint.
According to a police official quoted by news agency PTI, Shiv Sena members arrived at the hotel’s auditorium after Kamra’s remarks about Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde went viral on social media.

Reacting strongly to Kamra’s remarks, Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske issued a stern warning in a video message, stating that Sena workers would track Kamra across the country. He further claimed, “You will be forced to flee India.”
Shiv Sena: The incident has ignited a heated debate over freedom of expression and political criticism in India.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray strongly condemned the recent attack on a comedy show stage, labeling it an act of cowardice.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Thackeray criticized Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s supporters for vandalizing the set where comedian Kunal Kamra had performed a song about Shinde. Thackeray referred to Shinde as “Mindhe”—a Marathi term meaning subservient—mocking his leadership.
“Mindhe’s coward gang breaks the comedy show stage where comedian @kunalkamra88 put out a song on Eknath Mindhe, which was 100% true. Only an insecure coward would react to a song by someone,” Thackeray wrote.
He further questioned the state’s law and order situation, suggesting that the incident was an attempt to undermine the Chief Minister and Home Minister.
“By the way, law and order in the state? Another attempt to undermine the CM and Home Minister by Eknath Mindhe,” he added.
Thackeray has repeatedly used the term “Mindhe” to mock Shinde’s leadership, reinforcing his stance against the current state government’s actions.
Mumbai witnessed high drama as Shiv Sena workers stormed and vandalized the Habitat Comedy Club in Khar after comedian Kunal Kamra’s remarks against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde sparked outrage. The protest escalated as workers raised slogans, ransacked the venue, and condemned Kamra’s comments. A large crowd of Shiv Sena supporters gathered both inside and outside the club, expressing their anger over the comedian’s statements.
Meanwhile, in Thane, members of Yuva Sena—Shiv Sena’s youth wing—staged a strong protest against Kunal Kamra. Demonstrators gathered outside the Wagle Estate Police Station, where they set Kamra’s photographs on fire, intensifying the controversy.
The outrage stems from a song performed by Kunal Kamra during his stand-up show, which mocked Eknath Shinde over his 2022 political rebellion. The video of the performance, later shared on X (formerly Twitter), further fueled the backlash.
Following the uproar, Shiv Sena leaders have demanded a public apology from Kamra and warned of “dire consequences” if he fails to comply. The incident has reignited debates on freedom of expression and political intolerance, as tensions continue to rise in Maharashtra’s political landscape.
Shiv Sena Chief and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, along with party MP Naresh Mhaske, have strongly criticized comedian Kunal Kamra, labeling him a “hired comedian.” They accused Kamra of making remarks about their leader for financial gain. Furthermore, they warned that not only in Maharashtra but across India, Shiv Sainiks would ensure he faces consequences for his comments.
