July 14,2017:

Tanmay Bhat who is a Co-Founder of the AIB, defended meme in a post on group's website and also took to Twitter to make his case, complaining about what he called "the lack of rational reasoning."Comedy Group All India Bakchod (AIB), is again in trouble, as Mumbai Police Cyber Cell on Friday registered an FIR against AIB after it tweeted a post on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

After AIB tweeted on Wednesday a meme about PM by using Snapchat dog filter, a Twitter user, Reetesh Maheshwari, wrote to Mumbai Police handle, calling the meme  an "obnoxious prank" which ought to invite legal action.

Maheshwari also wrote on handle of Mumbai Police Commissioner: "Pradhan Mantri Ji ke liye is tarike ka behuda Mazak par @AllIndiaBakchod and @thetanmay par sakt karwayi hona chahiye."

AIB later removed tweet with meme on PM.

Court had directed Police to file the FIRs against show's organisers and the prominent participants, citing the violation of Indian Penal Code sections dealing with the conspiracy and the obscenity.
