Stand-up comedian Pranit More landed in a major controversy after questionable crowd-work videos from his shows surfaced online. Himanshu Jangra, a 23-year-old Gurugram man, became the centre of the storm after suggesting that he expected sexual favours from a date he had treated to a Rs 370 biryani. Amid intense scrutiny from all quarters, another clip went viral in which a young doctor was seen joking about the private parts of a cadaver. The video also sparked widespread backlash, with Mumbai’s KEM Hospital, the All India Medical Students’ Association (AIMSA), and others condemning Dr Sejal Pawar. Now, amid the ongoing row, the Karnataka government has decided to introduce new guidelines aimed at protecting cadaver dignity.
