The Maharashtra Home Department has issued an order for a comprehensive investigation into all video content associated with stand-up comedian Pranit More. This decision follows a major controversy sparked by one of his shows, prompting authorities to take action and delve deeper into the matter.
Maharashtra cyber police to examine Pranit More's show videos and viral clips
According to a report by IANS, the Maharashtra Cyber Police has been tasked with conducting the investigation. The cyber unit will meticulously scrutinize all of Pranit More's show videos, viral clips, and other content he has posted across various social media platforms, ensuring a thorough probe.
What triggered the controversy around Pranit More
The controversy began when a video from one of his stand-up shows started circulating on social media. In the clip, a man named Himanshu Jangra made a joke suggesting that spending Rs 370 on biryani during a date entitled him to physical intimacy. Another clip featured MBBS student Sejal Pawar, who discussed anatomy sessions with cadavers and claimed that students often joked about and mocked the private parts of male cadavers. Pranit More was seen laughing at both remarks, which sparked a massive backlash online.
In a video response, Pranit said, "Jinko bhi iss wajah se hurt hua hai, un sabse main maafi maangna chahta hoon. Jo bhi legal proceedings mere against ho rahi hain, uske liye main authorities ke saath co-operate bhi kar raha hoon. Main yehi request karna chahta hoon ki please mujhe ek chance do, main better insaan banke dikhaunga (I apologize to anyone who has been hurt by this. I am cooperating with the authorities regarding any legal proceedings being initiated against me. I just want to request that you please give me a chance, and I will become a better person)."
FIR registered against Pranit More, Himanshu Jangra and Sejal Pawar; both lose jobs
The Maharashtra Cyber Police registered an FIR against stand-up comedian Pranit More, Himanshu Jangra, Dr. Sejal Pawar, and others in connection with the allegedly obscene and objectionable content. The controversy had serious consequences for those involved. Himanshu Jangra lost his job after his employer stated that the incident had negatively affected client relationships. Sejal Pawar, associated with Mumbai's Seth G.S. Medical College and KEM Hospital, was placed on compulsory 15-day leave following widespread outrage over her remarks in the viral video.
