This is what happened: A group of right-wing Hindus stormed the show and confronted the comedian about jokes he allegedly made about Hindu deities. The Indian government has charged the comedian with “hurting religious feelings.”
After a stand-up show in the Indian state of Gujarat, Munawar Faruqui and four other people were arrested by the police on Friday. They were part of a fringe group led by Eklavya Gaur, son of an elected official from the ruling party.
The Hind Rakshak Sangathan members may have beaten Faruqui before taking him to the police station and demanding that he be charged. Mr. Gaur had a video of the show, and police said at the time that they did so based on that.
