19:10Now PlayingMunawar Faruqui was detained following a complaint by members of a right-wing vigilante group in India. He was denied bail twice despite officials saying they had no video evidence of him "insulting" Hindu deities. On January 1st, 2021, police arrested Faruqui and four others at Monroe's Cafe', India's central city of Indore, where the comedians planned to perform. Some critics say that Indian comedian Munawar Faruqui's arrest is an attack on freedom of speech. As he continues confinement without bail, the well-known comedian now awaits his fate in two states after being arrested for allegedly insulting Hindu deities. Each investigation potentially carries a four-year prison term. But no evidence exists to justify the arrest. On January 13th, Officer Khatri denied that police had any such video proof against Faruqui, but he defended Faruqui's arrest. Khatri praised the Hindu vigilantes for being 'active and alert.' He added, 'it didn't really matter' if Faruqui was innocent of the allegations. A video surfaced of Faruqui's performance in April 2020. Officer Khatri said the video, where the comedian found humor in a popular Hindi song, also proves Faruqui's 'intent' in the 2021 case. "They were going to do it, anyway," he added.
