New Delhi, March 25 -- Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske alleged on Tuesday that stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, who has been in the eye of the storm over his jibe at Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, has been given money to make such statements to divert people's attention from the Disha Salian death case.

The Shiv Sena MP also hit out at Shiv Sena Chief (UBT) Uddhav Thackeray and MP Sanjay Raut, accusing them of taking the support of people like Kunal Kamra.

"Kunal Kamra has been given money to make such statements to divert people's attention away from Disha Salian's case. Uddhav Thackeray and Sanjay Raut are left with no workers, which is why they are putting forward people like Kunal Kamra," he told ANI.
