Comedy group All India Bakchod (AIB) has found itself in hot water again after posting a meme on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter.

The Mumbai Police cyber cell has registered an FIR against the AIB group.

"Will continue making jokes. And deleting if necessary. And making jokes again. And Apologizing if necessary. Don't care what you think," said Tanmay Bhat.

This is not the first time that Tanmay has found himself embroiled in a controversy.

Last year in May, Bhat received nationwide flak for posting an irreverent video of a mock conversation between legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar and legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
