A team of Mumbai Police arrived at comedian Kunal Kamra's residence on Monday in connection with a case involving a controversial joke allegedly aimed at Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, ANI reported.

Soon after Kunal Kamra took to X to share that he has not lived in the concerned house for the last 10 years.

The Khar police had previously issued two summons to Kamra after filing a First Information Report (FIR) on March 24, following a complaint by Shiv Sena MLA Murji Patel.

Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has responded to Mumbai Police reaching to his house in Mumbai through social media.

He shared a photo of himself and wrote, "Going to an address where I haven’t lived for the last 10 Years is a waste of your time & public resources…"

Three defamation cases were filed against Kamra across Maharashtra and have been subsequently transferred as the venue of the stand-up show, The Habitat, falls under its jurisdiction.

The comedian, who lives in Tamil Nadu, has been granted interim protection from arrest by the Madras high court.
