A video of stand-up comedian Samay Raina is circulating on social media, this time for all the wrong reasons.

The crowd burst into laughter, including the chief minister. Raina further highlighted the efficiency of the Maha Cyber Cell, stating that they can catch anyone, anywhere. He also joked about being detained and felicitated by a cyber cell officer. Raina's comments were met with more laughter and applause.
