MUMBAI: Actor Kamal Rashid Khan, popularly known as KRK, was arrested on Saturday in connection with a firing incident at a residential building in the city’s western suburbs, police said.
Khan was brought to the Oshiwara police station for questioning late on Friday night. During interrogation, he allegedly admitted to firing two rounds using his licensed firearm, an official said.
According to the police, the incident occurred on January 18, when two bullets were fired at Nalanda Society in the Oshiwara area of Andheri. During the investigation, one bullet was found on the second floor of the building and another on the fourth floor.
One of the flats is owned by a writer-director, while the other belongs to a model, police said.
Investigators initially made little progress as CCTV footage from the area did not provide any leads. However, forensic analysis later suggested that the bullets may have been fired from Khan’s nearby bungalow, the official added.
The exact motive behind the firing is yet to be ascertained.
A case has been registered against the actor under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act, police said.
