— ANI (@ANI_news) January 18, 2016 The complaint came a week after comedian Kiku Sharda was arrested for mimicking Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh on his show. Kiku was arrested for allegedly hurting the sentiments of the self-styled godman’s followers.
Slamming the arrest of comedian Kiku Sharda last week, Congress said such actions make India look like a "tin pot republic" and the Haryana Police should be "ashamed" of carrying out the arrest.
