On Thursday (March 27), Mumbai Police revealed that the comedian requested time until April 2 to appear, but the police denied it, insisting on his presence by 11 am on March 31.

He was called in for questioning on Tuesday (March 25), however, he failed to appear.

Currently, Kunal resides in Puducherry, while his parents live in Mahim, Mumbai.
