Actor and self-proclaimed film critic Kamaal R Khan, widely recognized as KRK, has been placed in judicial custody following his involvement in the high-profile Oshiwara firing incident. According to the latest developments, after his police custody concluded, the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate's Court issued the order for judicial custody.
KRK Remains in Jail as Case Proceeds
As per ANI reports, Kamaal R Khan will continue to stay in jail for the time being, with the case still ongoing. It has been indicated that the next hearing date will be determined at a later stage, leaving the timeline for further proceedings uncertain.
Background of the Custody
Last week, the Mumbai Police took Kamaal R Khan into custody after extensive questioning. During the interrogation, police officials stated that KRK admitted that the firing was carried out using his licensed firearm. Based on this admission, he was formally taken into custody. Initially, a Bandra Court had remanded him to police custody until January 27. Upon the expiration of that period, he was produced before the Andheri court, which subsequently ordered his transfer to judicial custody.
Details of the Oshiwara Firing Case
The incident occurred at a residential building in the Oshiwara area of Mumbai, where a firing was reported. The Mumbai Police promptly arrived at the scene to initiate an investigation. Authorities reviewed CCTV footage from nearby locations and conducted interviews with numerous individuals who were present around the building at the time. Officers are actively gathering evidence and statements to piece together the exact sequence of events and understand the full context of what transpired.
Defense Denies Police Claims
KRK's legal representative, advocate Nagesh Mishra, has vehemently denied the allegations made by the police. He asserted, "The entire case is fabricated. Kamaal Khan has been falsely implicated in this case." Mishra further elaborated, "The contention of the police is that I fired a bullet from my gun. But it is not correct." The advocate provided a technical explanation, stating, "The bullet has a maximum capacity of 20 metres, and the place where this gun was fired was at a distance of 400 metres. It is not possible." He also claimed, "Many big names in Bollywood are instigating the police to implicate him in this case," and emphasized, "Kamaal R Khan has no connection with the firing incident."
The case continues to unfold as legal proceedings advance, with both sides presenting their arguments in court. The entertainment industry and public alike are closely monitoring the developments, given KRK's prominent presence in Bollywood circles and his outspoken nature as a critic.
