Maheep Singh reveals he was 'threatened'

The comedian shared a video of one of the protestors and revealed he was threatened. Giving a glimpse of the people threatening the manager of venue, Maheep is heard saying in the video in Hindi, "They said that if we come to perform the show, they will stage an aggressive protest because our comedy is vulgar. They've never even seen it, but somehow they've decided it's vulgar."

'They belong to a prominent group'

"They even threatened the manager of the mall where the show was supposed to happen. Because of that, we had to cancel the show. They belong to a very prominent group, which also includes the name of God, so we muted that part," the comedian added in the video.

Sharing the video on Instagram, Maheep wrote, "Show cancellation vlog."

Netizens react to Maheep's video

Soon after he posted the video, many Instagram users asked Maheep to take legal action against them. "What if, everyone (you, organisers of show, mall mgmt) unite and file legal complaint against such people. That's the best way I see to deal with the situation," a comment under his post read.

Several users claimed that they are from 'Bajrang Dal'. On the other hand, some users stated that they were 'eagerly waiting' to attend the show.

"Arey yeh joh fake bante hai…. Raat ko bhet ke nashe bhi karte honge," wrote another user.

"Yeh bus show hi rok sakte hai jo rokne wali chizze hoti hai who to rok nahi sakte ab," another comment read.
