Stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui has been in jail for more than two weeks. Why? Did he crack an inappropriate joke? Well, as the top cop of Madhya Pradesh says, "it doesn't matter."
Munawar was arrested along with four others by Indore police midway during a show held at a cafe in Indore, on the basis of a complaint filed by a fringe right-wing group's leader for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Hindu gods and Home Minister Amit Shah.
