According to a source, the Mumbai court on Tuesday allowed bail to Kamaal R Khan, commonly known as KRK. The former actor and film critic was detained in relation to a 2021 molestation allegation that Versova police had filed against him. However, Kamaal will stay behind bars since his bail request in a different case from 2020 connected to his alleged nasty tweets on actor Akshay Kumar, director Ram Gopal Verma, and others is still pending before the Borivali magistrate court.
The Borivali metropolitan magistrate court is scheduled to hear KRK’s bail request in the 2020 case on Wednesday. KRK was taken into jail by the Borivali magistrate court after being detained at the Mumbai airport on August 30 due to his previous comments.
According to a PTI report, KRK was taken into custody by the Versova police on Sunday in the molestation case, and he was then brought before the Bandra court. In his bail request submitted via his attorneys to the Bandra magistrate court, Kamaal claimed that the First Information Report’s (FIR) information did not actually correspond to the alleged molestation occurrence.
According to PTI, the police said that KRK’s tweets from 2020 were racist and had targets in the Bollywood industry. He was charged in 2020 with violating the Information Technology Act, IPC sections 153 (wantonly offering provocation with the goal to incite riot), 500 (penalty for defamation), and other laws.
