Indian police have arrested a prominent entertainer for culpable religious suppositions after he mirrored a questionable otherworldly master on a network show, an authority said on Wednesday.
Kiku Sharda, 40, was sent to legal guardianship for 14 days by a court in northern Haryana state after he was captured in Mumbai late Tuesday, a senior cop told AFP.
“A police group captured the denounced at a TV studio in Mumbai toward the end of last night taking after a protestation recorded by one of the master’s supporters,” he said.
Sharda, who imitated a guru in a TV appearance on December 27, has apologized for his act, saying it was only aimed for entertaining audiences.
“I was given a dress, a script to read and directed to act,” he was quoted by the Press Trust of India news agency
