Entertainment | Stand-up comedian Munawwar Farooqui's show has been canceled once again. The show was scheduled to take place in Bangalore today. The police canceled the show saying that the organizers had not taken the necessary permissions for it. This is the second time in a row that Farooqui's show has been canceled in Bengaluru. It is worth noting that this stand-up comedian was jailed for nearly a month for a show in Indore, Madhya Pradesh earlier this year.

Significantly, Farooqui has been accused of inciting religious sentiments during his show. Due to this his shows are being canceled in different cities. Once, 12 of his shows were canceled within just two months. It is said that Farooqui's show named 'Dongri to Know Where' was going to be held at the MNR Convention Hall in JP Nagar, Bangalore.

However, there are also apprehensions that the show has been canceled in view of law and order. According to the information, an organization named Jai Shri Ram Sena had lodged a complaint with the top police officer of Bangalore, Pratap Reddy, regarding Farooqui. It was alleged that this comedian incites religious sentiments by commenting on Lord Ram and Sita.
