Kamaal R Khan's tweets and his open jibes at Bollywood often land him in trouble. Popularly known as KRK, the actor-critic has now been arrested by Malad Police following a controversial tweet made by him in 2020. KRK was detained at the airport and was arrested post questioning. The complaint was filed against Kamaal R Khan at Malad Police Station by Yuva Sena member Rahul Kanal. KRK was arrested following his questionable tweets about Irrfan and Rishi Kapoor in 2020.
A lookout notice was issued against KRK after which, an FIR was registered against him in 2020. He will be produced today in Borivali court at 11 pm on August 30. He was arrested under Sections 153A, 294, 500, 501, 505, 67, and 98 of the IPC.
"Kamal R Khan has been arrested today on my complaint. I welcome this move by the Mumbai police. He makes derogatory comments on social media and uses foul language. Such kind of behavior is unacceptable in society. By arresting him, Mumbai police has sent out a strong message against such people," said Rahul Kanal.
On April 30, 2022, Khan took to Twitter to announce Rishi Kapoor's hospitalisation and said the actor must not die as wine shops were set to open soon, according to a PTI report quoting police official.
He also took pot-shots at Irrfan Khan, a day before his death on April 29.
An FIR was also lodged back then for KRK's derogatory marks.
