The Bombay High Court has revived a petition filed by comedienne Bharti Singh and actor Shekhar Suman to quash a 2010 FIR against them for allegedly offending the sentiments of Muslims. The FIR was filed against them for making offensive remarks about a Quranic verse on a comedy show.
Returning to shooting practice after a decade and a half, Bharti Singh recalls thinking of earning a lot of money for a rifle when she went for the nationals.
Comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Harsh Limbachiyaa did not violate any bail conditions, according to a special NDPS court which rejected the Narcotics Control Bureau's plea to cancel their bail. The couple had been arrested in November 2020 after cannabis was allegedly found at their home and office. The NCB argued that bail had been granted without hearing its counsel, but the court said it was the agency's fault for not appearing at the hearing and there were no grounds to cancel the bail.
