This is Rahul Kanal, the man who led a mob of 20 party workers into Mumbai's Habitat
00:12
studio vandalising the venue and causing serious damage.
00:16
But Kanal didn't stop there.
00:18
He even issued a warning to comedian Kunal Kamra defending the attack.
00:31
The law, however, stepped in.
00:32
The accused was sent to 14-day judicial custody but walked out the very next day on a Rs 15,000
00:38
bond.
00:39
But who is Rahul Kanal?
00:41
Rahul Kanal is a social activist turned politician.
00:44
He was once a close aide of Aditya Thackeray, working as the social media in-charge for
00:48
Shiv Sena UBT.
00:50
But in 2023, he switched sides, joining the Eknath Shinde faction and becoming General
00:55
Secretary of UASENAV.
00:57
He wears many hats.
00:58
He is the president of the I Love Mumbai Foundation, trustee of the Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust,
01:03
a member of the Education Committee at MCGM, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai.
01:08
He also owns Bhai Jaans, a restaurant named after Bollywood star Salman Khan.
01:13
But Kanal's career isn't just about politics and philanthropy.
01:17
It's also filled with controversy.
01:19
In 2022, his premises were raided by the Income Tax Department over an alleged Hawala racket
01:24
linked to Shiv Sena leader Yashwant Jadhav.
01:27
In 2020, his name surfaced in the Disha Salyan and Sushant Singh Rajput case when BJP MLA
01:33
Nitesh Rane accused Aditya Thackeray and his aides of being involved.
01:37
Kanal hit back, calling the allegations baseless.
01:40
And now, he's back in the headlines, this time for allegedly leading an attack on a
01:44
comedian.
