Arrested for being funny. That is just plain ridiculous. @kikusharda is a happy, peaceful guy just doing his job. Appalled at his arrest.

Congratulations India on speedily arresting someone for comedy. Now maybe you can do the same for actual crime soon.

These are the "Babas" of our times. Selling themselves as action heroes, while getting comedians put behind bars. This is "Ghor Kalyug"!

Heard @kikusharda 's been remanded to judicial custody for mimicking RamRahim on TV! Absurd! RamRahim's 'films' are the real joke, anyway!

We Indians taking offense on EVERYTHING is bad enough. Stop arresting/harassing comics for that. #ReleaseKikuShardaNOW!

If women in Haryana want Haryana Police to protect them, they should all become Godmen/babas/sadhus. Very efficient in such matters.
