On February 5, the Supreme Court had granted interim bail to stand-up comic Munawar Faruqui. In a separate case, the apex court also granted Munawar protection from being arrested by Uttar Pradesh police, and stayed the production warrant issued against him. 

Munawar had been in jail since January 2 on a complaint lodged by BJP MLA's son over a comedy show in Indore on January 1. Four other people including Edwin Anthony, Nalin Yadav, Prakhar Vyas and Priyam Vyas, were arrested along with Munawar for allegedly making objectionable remarks about Hindu deities and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
