Mumbai: Actor and film critic Kamaal Rashid Khan, popularly known as KRK, was arrested on Saturday in connection with a firing incident reported at a residential building in Mumbai’s western suburbs, police officials said.
According to the police, the incident took place on January 18 at Nalanda Society in the Oshiwara area of Andheri, where two bullets were allegedly fired. Khan was brought to the Oshiwara police station late Friday night for questioning. During interrogation, he admitted to firing two rounds from his licensed firearm, an official confirmed.
Investigators recovered two bullets from the society premises during the probe. One bullet was found on the second floor, while another was recovered from the fourth floor of the building. Police said one of the affected flats belongs to a writer-director, while the other is owned by a model.
Initially, the investigation faced hurdles as CCTV footage from the area did not provide any concrete leads. However, a subsequent forensic examination revealed that the bullets were likely fired from Khan’s nearby bungalow, prompting further action against the actor.
The motive behind the firing remains unclear, and police said investigations are ongoing to ascertain the circumstances leading to the incident.
A case has been registered against Khan under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act, police added.
