A court in Bengaluru has formally criticized the Whitefield police department regarding their actions—or lack thereof—following a complaint filed by Mohan Gowda. The legal action stems from a scheduled comedy performance by Kunal Kamra, which Gowda sought to block by submitting a formal representation to local law enforcement.

While the specific details of the court's reprimand remain limited, the judicial intervention highlights a tension between public complaints regarding controversial public figures and the procedural duties of the police. Mohan Gowda had approached the authorities to express his opposition to the event, arguing that the show should not proceed. The court's decision to 'slam' the police suggests that the authorities failed to follow proper legal protocols or adequately address the grievance filed by the complainant. The situation underscores the ongoing friction surrounding public performances and the role of police in mediating community objections to such events.
