Agrima Joshua case: Maha HM Anil Deshmukh asks Mumbai Police to take legal action against comedian over Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj remark

Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has instructed Mumbai Police to take legal action against stand-up comedian Agrima Joshua for her remarks on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Taking to Twitter, Deshmukh wrote, "I ve instructed CP Mumbai and IG Cyber to take legal action expeditiously ..I urge everyone to maintain calm and law will take its course."

Earlier, Joshua's old video, in which she cracked jokes on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's upcoming statue in the Arabian Sea, surfaced on the internet. The video went viral and she was slammed for "hurting sentiments" of the followers of the Maratha king.

Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik on Friday had demanded the arrest of the stand-up comedian for her comments. In a letter to Deshmukh, he had demanded strict legal action against Joshua.

A stand-up comedian was compelled to share an apology on social media and take down her former content after she was brow-beaten into compliance by threats of arrest and rape.

Comedian Agrima Joshua has shared an apology for an old video in which she made a joke about the upcoming statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and what people were saying about it online. Following the call for her arrest by a Shiv Sena leader and a very public hate campaign against her, Joshua decided to come forth with an apology. The video was also taken down.

Some comedian named Agrima Joshua has made contemptuous comments against Shivaji Maharaj while presenting her comedy skit," Sarnaik wrote
