Overview

• An 11-member committee approved notices for Kamra and Sushma Andhare over parody remarks seen as insulting Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
• Draft show-cause notices have moved to the law and judiciary department and will be dispatched via the police commissioner within days.
• The committee cited insults to the deputy chief minister, the state and its legislature as grounds under legislative privilege rules.
• Recipients must submit written responses within 15 days and risk police arrest if they fail to answer three consecutive notices.
• The action follows a breach of privilege motion by BJP MLC Pravin Darekar and highlights tensions over political satire in Maharashtra.
