Bollywood personality Kamaal R Khan (KRK) has broken his silence following his release on bail in connection with a firearm discharge incident in Mumbai’s Oshiwara area. The controversial actor-producer maintains the episode resulted from an accidental discharge while cleaning his licensed weapon.\n\nIn an exclusive interview with Khaleej Times from his Mumbai residence, KRK detailed the events of January 18th, explaining he had just retrieved his German-made Mauser pistol from police custody the previous day. While cleaning the firearm in his bedroom, he claims to have fired a single shot toward nearby mangrove swamps after being uncertain whether the chamber was empty.\n\n\”I was being careful because these things can happen,\” KRK stated, referencing a recent incident where actor-politician Govinda accidentally shot himself while cleaning a handgun.\n\nThe case originated when two bullets were discovered embedded in apartments within the Nalanda housing society in Lokhandwala, though no injuries were reported. Mumbai Police took KRK into custody for questioning after the projectiles were found in the residences of writer Neeraj Mishra and model Prateek Baid.\n\nKRK’s legal representative, Supreme Court advocate Sana Raees Khan, has characterized the arrest as \”an abuse of the process of law,\\” citing significant discrepancies in the allegations. She contends the pistol’s effective range of 20-30 meters makes it physically impossible for the weapon to have fired projectiles the alleged 1,500 meters to the affected apartments.\n\nThe actor was released on bail with a personal bond of ₹25,000 (approximately Dh1,000) after his legal team successfully argued the allegations were inconsistent with both the firearm’s capabilities and the distances involved.
