Twitterati have a field day trolling Kunal Kamra's 'ban' after Arnab row

Hyderabad: The nation saw a new controversy in the form of stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra's viral in-flight confrontation with TV journalist, Arnab Goswami where Kunal can be seen calling Arnab a 'coward'. He also said that he was doing it for Rohith Vemula, a PhD student from HCU, who committed suicide due to caste discrimination.

Kunal Kamra later posted the video on Twitter and wrote - "I did it for my hero… I did it for Rohit". The video has gone viral all-over Twitter and has over 3.5 million views.

Post the video, Indigo Airlines suspended Kunal Kamra for 6 months and put him in the 'no-fly' list. They took to Twitter and in a series of tweets, wrote - " @MoCA_Gol @ HardeepSPuri In light of the recent incident on board 6E 5317 from Mumbai to Lucknow, we wish to inform that we are suspending Mr. Kunal Kamra from flying with IndiGo for a period of six months, as his conduct onboard was unacceptable behaviour. ½

Hereby, we wish to advise our passengers to refrain from indulging in personal slander whilst onboard, as this can potentially compromise the safety of fellow passengers. 2/2 @ MoCA_Gol @HardeepSPuri."
