As the news came in of entertainer Kiku Sharda being sent to 14 days of judicial custody for mimicking Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, several questions came up.

Reports stated that the issue came to light after the December 27 episode of the much watched television show, ‘Comedy Nights with Kapil’, where Sharda mimicked the religious leader, which incensed his followers.
They filed a police case against the actor, who was booked under Section 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings) of the Indian Penal Code.
