Tanmay Bhatt in trouble again, FIR against AIB for 'meme on PM Modi'

MUMBAI: The comedy group All India Bakchod (AIB), which had last year found itself at the centre of a controversy for its promoter Tanmay Bhatt's "roast" on former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and singer Lata Mangeshkar, has just landed itself in trouble again.

The Mumbai Police Cyber Cell on Friday registered an FIR against ‘AIB’ after it tweeted a post on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

AIB on Wednesday tweeted a meme about the PM by using the Snapchat dog filter, a Twitter user, Reetesh Maheshwari, wrote to the Mumbai police handle, calling the meme an "obnoxious prank" which ought to invite a legal action.

Maheshwari also wrote on the handle of the Mumbai police commissioner: "Pradhan Mantri ke liye is tarike ka behuda Mazak par @AllIndiaBakchod and @thetanmay par sakt karwayi hona chahiye." AIB later removed the tweet with the meme on the PM.
