Comedian Kapil Sharma found himself in the middle of a legal tangle recently when he was asked to pay Rs 5 lakhs as bribe to Mumbai’s civic body to set up his new office. He made his anger public on twitter and even tagged PM Narendra Modi in his rant.
Check out his tweets:

His tweet garnered a great response online, getting about 2500 re-tweets and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis took an immediate action.
He replied:

Have directed MC,BMC to take strictest action.
