  • "The evidence collected so far suggest that in an organized public show under the garb of stand-up comedy at a public place on commercial lines, prima facie; scurrilous, disparaging utterances, outraging religious feelings of a class of citizens of India with deliberate intendment, were made by the applicant," the court observed.

    Justice Arya had on Monday reserved order in this matter.

    He, along with at least five others, are accused of hurting the religious sentiments of the Hindu community by cracking some jokes about Hindu Gods and deities.

    It was also alleged that Faruqui had disrespected Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

  • Information

    Complaint filed by Eklavya Singh Gaur

  • The complaint in this regard was filed by one Eklavya Singh Gaur, the chief of a local Hindutva outfit. Gaur is the son of Bharatiya Janata Party's MLA Malini Gaur. He had also allegedly created a ruckus at Faruqui's show in Indore.

  • Charges

    Faruqui, others charged under these IPC sections

  • By January 3, Faruqui and five others were arrested under the Sections 295-A (outraging religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), 298 (uttering words with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings), 269 (negligent act likely to cause spread of disease), 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

  • Faruqui, on the other hand, claimed in his bail plea that he had not made any statements as alleged in the criminal complaint against him.

    Earlier, the Indore Town Inspector (Tukaganj Police Station), Kamlesh Sharma, had reportedly said that there was no evidence against the comedian.

    To note, many fellow comedians and actors have condemned Faruqui's arrest and called for his release.
