The Indian government is looking at a stand-up comedian named Kunal Kamra because of some things he said on social media and in public between 2020 and 2023.
They're thinking about arresting him for possibly breaking laws that deal with hate speech and hurting religious feelings.
Many people are talking about what might happen to Kamra. Almost half of the legal experts think he could go to jail for up to three years. Some others believe he might just say sorry and make a deal.
People in the cities are mostly against his arrest, while people in the countryside are more in favor of it, according to a recent survey.
The case against Kamra includes 17 times when he's accused of saying things that could upset people. This includes 23 posts on social media, 7 performances, and 4 TV shows that officials say broke the law.
This situation has caught attention from people around the world, with 12 human rights groups showing they're worried about it.
In India, similar cases have seen only about 24% of people getting punished, and these cases usually take about 14 months to finish.
The police say they might arrest Kamra in the next 45 days, but they need to get permission from the Ministry of Home Affairs and finish some paperwork first.
