The complaint was lodged on February 12th.
According to a spokesperson for the Deputy Commissioner of Police,”The 14 persons are booked under sections 294 (obscene acts or songs), 509 (word or gestures intended to insult the modesty of a woman), 120 (B) (criminal conspiracy), 34 (acts done by several persons with common intention) of the Indian Penal Code and relevant sections of the Environment Act, IT Act and Bombay Police Act”.
This is the second FIR in the state against the AIB Roast. Earlier an offense was registered in Pune and the state government ordered a inquiry into the show.
The application seeking registration of FIR was started by activist Santosh Daundkar who alleged that the participants used “vulgar, obscene and pornographic” language before an audience which had a large number of women. The complaint also objected to the venue being used for entertainment show claiming it was in breach of Coastal Regulation Zone rules.
