FIR filed in Solapur over attack on comedian Pranit More, Veer Pahariya apologises
More told The Indian Express that he had shared an Instagram reel, cracking a joke on Pahariya, who is grandson of former Maharashtra Chief Minister and Solapur MP Sushilkumar Shinde.
Senior Inspector Ajit Lakde, in-charge of Sadar Bazar police station, said, "After we received information about the incident (on February 4), we asked the performer to register an FIR with us. But he did not come. So we have filed a case based on the complaint given by the restaurant manager. The FIR was registered on Tuesday night," said Lakde.
An FIR was filed against at least 10 people at the Sadar Bazar police station in Solapur for their alleged involvement in an attack on comedian Pranit More over a joke on actor Veer Pahariya.
Police said the FIR was filed on Tuesday by the manager of a bar in Solapur where More was performing and later attacked.
More told The Indian Express that he had shared an Instagram reel, cracking a joke on Pahariya, who is grandson of former Maharashtra Chief Minister and Solapur MP Sushilkumar Shinde.
More alleged that one Tanveer Shaikh with 10 to 12 people confronted him about the reel after his show in Solapur and attacked him, leading to injuries on his back, stomach, and head. More also accused the Solapur police of not providing any help immediately after the incident.
