# Bengaluru police book Hindu group member over Kunal Kamra show claims 2026-08-07T11:50:31+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Bengaluru police have registered an FIR against Mohan Gowda, a member of the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, for allegedly spreading false information on social media about the cancellation of comedian Kunal Kamra's show. The FIR, filed on August 4, follows a complaint by a police constable on social media monitoring duty at Whitefield police station. Gowda had filmed a video outside the station claiming the group's protest forced the show's cancellation and that an inspector assured action. Police say the inspector made no such promise and the organiser shifted the show. The Hindu reports Gowda is also the state organiser of the Hindu Rashtra Samanvaya Samithi. Charges under Sections 217 and 353(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita have been invoked. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - thenewsminute.com Tags: Bengaluru police, comedy show, FIR, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, Kunal Kamra, misinformation Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bengaluru-police-book-hindu-janajagruti-samiti-member-for-false-video-on-kunal-kamra-show/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
