Kapil Sharma who has more than 6.2 million followers on Twitter vented his ire on the social media platform. His tweet got an instant response from his fans who soon retweeted the post over 2500 times in three hours. BMC’s vigilance chief engineer Manohar Pawar requested the actor to make a formal complaint and name the person who had approached him for a bribe. Pawar added that the moment Kapil provides them with all the evidence, a strict action would be initiated against the concerned person.

CM Devendra Fadnavis too responded with a tweet to Kapil Sharma. He wrote,

BJP MP Kirit Somaiya from Mumbai North east constituency too tweeted in favour of the comedian and asked the BMC to be freed of scam mafias.

Kapil Sharma rose to fame with ‘Comedy Nights With Kapil’ and hoped to have PM Modi as a guest on it soon.
