Mumbai: The Mumbai Police on Monday arrested 11 members of the Yuva Sena, the youth wing of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, for vandalising the Habitat comedy venue located in Khar.
The incident occurred after a video surfaced online showing stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra allegedly mocking Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, referring to him as a “gaddar” (traitor). This comment reportedly triggered outrage among the party’s youth members, leading to the attack on the venue, which is housed inside the Unicontinental Hotel.
