Overview

• Kunal Kamra has been granted interim anticipatory bail by the Madras High Court until April 7, covering the first FIR filed against him for remarks targeting Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde.
• Three additional FIRs filed in Maharashtra on March 28 are not covered by Kamra's current bail, leaving him vulnerable to further legal action.
• Mumbai Police visited Kamra's former Mahim residence on March 31 to serve summons, but Kamra stated he has not lived there for 10 years.
• Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) leaders, including Rahool Kanal, have issued veiled threats, promising a 'Shiv Sena-style' response if Kamra returns to Mumbai.
• Kamra has criticized the backlash as a systematic effort to silence dissenting artists and has refused to apologize for his comments.
