"Pehle apne size ki shirt silwa mote," Kapil wrote [Translation: First get yourself a shirt that fits, fatty]. A few minutes later, Kapil deleted the tweet but the screenshot went viral on social media.

A few days back Bharti Singh and husband Harsh Limbachiya were booked under NDPS Act Sections 20(b)(ii)(A) (involves small quantity of drugs), 8(c) (possession of drugs) and 27 (consumption of drugs). 

The names of Bharti Singh and her husband cropped up during the interrogation of a drug peddler. Bharti Singh, who has appeared in a number of comedy and reality shows on TV, was arrested on Saturday night by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), while her husband was taken into custody on Sunday morning following seizure of ganja (cannabis) from their house in suburban Andheri.

The NCB had recovered 86.5 gm of ganja during the search their residence and office. Up to 1,000 gm of ganja is considered small quantity, which attracts jail term up to six months and/or fine of Rs 10,000. Possession of commercial quantity -- 20 kg or more -- can attract up to 20 years in jail. For the quantity in between, the punishment can be as much as 10 years in jail. 

Later, they were produced on Sunday before the magistrate's court which remanded them in judicial custody till December 4. But a Mumbai court on Monday granted bail to comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Harsh Limbachiya. The magistrate's court granted bail to the couple on a bond of Rs 15,000 each.
