India comedian won't apologise for joke that angered politicians


 Popular Indian comedian Kunal Kamra has refused to apologise after jokes he made during a stand-up show angered supporters of a top politician in Maharashtra state.

Clips of the jokes - some of them were directed at the state's Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde - had gone viral.

Members of the Shiv Sena party, which is led by Shinde, vandalised the hotel in Mumbai - the capital of Maharashtra - where the show was held.

A police case was also registered against Kamra and politicians from the state's ruling coalition have asked him to apologise.
