Police have registered a case against 10 to 12 persons for allegedly assaulting stand-up comedian Pranit More in Maharashtra’s Solapur district after being upset over his jokes targeting actor Veer Pahariya, an official said.
Pahariya, the grandson of former State Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, starred in the recently released action drama film "Sky Force".
After Mr. More’s show here on Sunday, 10 to 12 persons, who were upset due to his jokes aimed at Pahariya, assaulted the comedian, as per a police complaint lodged in this connection.
A statement on behalf of More has been put up on his social media account about the alleged assault on him.
