Kunal Kamra has been removed from BookMyShow amid an ongoing controversy over his remarks about Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde during a comedy show at The Habitat in Mumbai, with multiple FIRs now filed against him. The complaint was raised by the Shiv Sena Yuva General Secretary Rahool Kanal to BookMyShow to “not provide” a platform to Kunal Kamra for his shows. Hours after the complaint was raised, BookMyShow has removed all history linked to Kunal Kamra and his profile.
Take a look at the letter given by Rahool Kanal:

Rahool Kanal To BookMyShow CEO:
After erasing him from the platform, Rahool Kanal wrote a letter to BookMyShow CEO Ashish Hemrajani, thanking him for keeping him away from the platform. He wrote, “clean and keep such artists out of the list of pure entertainment.”
In the letter he also wrote, “I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support of you team to take the said artist out of your sale and promotion listing, thank you for even taking him out of the book my show search history. Your belief in maintaining peace and at the same time respecting our emotions has been instrumental.”
Kunal Kamra Controversy:
The Shiv Sena official was detained and charged with the crime along with other Shiv Sena employees for allegedly damaging the studio where Kunal Kamra performed and using the term “traitor,” which sparked a heated argument. Kunal Kamra, who is reportedly in Puducherry, has received three notifications from Mumbai Police requesting his appearance, but he has ignored them all. As for the third summons to appear before the Mumbai Police, the comedian has now skipped it.
