A Kerala-based mimicry artist has alleged that he has been subjected to cyber abuse after a video clip from one of his stage performances abroad was circulated on social media, with some accusing him of "showing disrespect" to Chief Minister V D Satheesan.
Mimicry artist Mahesh Kunjumon said the controversy stemmed from a recent performance in Ireland, where he imitated the Chief Minister's voice.
During the programme, he referred to "V D Satheesan" over the microphone while instructing the LED wall operator to display a file containing the leader's image.

In a Facebook post, Kunjumon clarified that he mentioned only the file name for technical purposes and had no intention of showing disrespect or insulting the chief minister by not prefixing it with "Chief Minister" or "Sir".
