Comedian Sunil Pal Extends His Apology To Doctors After An FIR Got Filed Against Him For Calling Them 'Demons'

Recently, comedian Sunil Pal hit headlines as an FIR got registered against him. Reportedly, he called doctors 'demons' and 'thieves' in one of his videos and that got him in trouble. On May 4, Andheri police registered the first information report (FIR) against Pal based on a complaint filed by Dr Sushmita Bhatnagar, president of the Association of Medical Consultants (Mumbai). In the complaint, she alleged that Sunil Pal made defamatory statements against doctors. Now, Sunil Pal has extended an apology.

On his Twitter handle, he said 'Sorry' to doctors and tagged a lot of people including the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of Maharashtra Uddhav Thackeray and others. Earlier, after a complaint was filed against him, Sunil Pal had spoken to TOI on this matter and said, "I have also put another video apologising if anyone has got hurt with the video. But I still stand by my comments because doctors were considered as God. During these tough times, poor people are made to suffer and I have mentioned in the video 90% of doctors are dressed in demons and the rest there are still 10% doctors who are doing their duty to serve people. There is no need for doctors to get hurt if they are serving and doing their duty sincerely. Also, I did not get any notice from the police so far."

Sunil Pal rose to fame after he won  The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. He then appeared in many films including Phir Hera Pheri, Bombay To Goa, Dirty Politics, Kick and more.
