The National Commission for Women (NCW) has taken suo motu cognisance of a comment made during Pranit More's stand-up comedy show in Gurugram, Haryana, by Himanshu Jangra.
The Mumbai Cyber Police has registered a case against Pranit, Himanshu, and Sejal Pawar over the ₹375 biryani joke that landed them in trouble.
The NCW has scheduled a hearing in the case on June 22 at 4 PM and has expressed serious concern about the jokes being made, which trivialised the conduct and presented it as entertainment.
The commission has sought details regarding an FIR against Pranit and Himanshu under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and other applicable laws.
The Maharashtra Cyber Police has also registered a case against Pranit, Himanshu, and Sejal for 'allegedly disseminating "obscene and objectionable" content on social media'.
