Mumbai police have arrested controversial film critic Kamaal Rashid Khan, popularly known as KRK, following a shooting incident in a residential society in the city’s western suburbs.
According to Indian media reports, the incident occurred on January 18 at Nalanda Society in the Oshiwara area of Andheri, where residents reported hearing two gunshots, according to Indian media reports.
Police brought KRK to Oshiwara police station late Friday night for questioning. During interrogation, he admitted to firing two shots from his licensed firearm, police officials said.
Investigators recovered two bullets from the society premises during an examination. They found one bullet on the second floor and another on the fourth floor of the building.
Police revealed that one flat belongs to a writer and director, while the other flat is registered in the name of a model.
Initial CCTV footage review provided no significant leads, which complicated the investigation. However, forensic examination later indicated the bullets may have been fired from KRK’s nearby bungalow.
Authorities have not yet determined the motive behind the shooting.
Police registered a case against the actor under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act.
The investigation continues.
