Actor, filmmaker, and social media personality Kamaal Rashid Khan, popularly known as KRK, was arrested by the Mumbai Police in connection with a firing incident that took place in the Oshiwara area of Andheri West earlier this month.
What Happened at Oshiwara
Police began investigating after residents of Nalanda Society in Oshiwara reported loud gunshots on January 18, 2026. Officers later recovered two bullets from two different apartments in the building — one on the second floor and another on the fourth floor.
According to investigators, one of the flats belongs to a writer-director, and the other to a model. Thankfully, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
Police Investigation and Arrest
Initial CCTV footage did not reveal any clear evidence, forcing police to rely on forensic analysis and other technical methods to trace the origin of the bullets. Officials later determined that the shots may have come from a nearby bungalow owned by KRK.
Late on Friday night, KRK was brought to the Oshiwara police station for questioning. During the interrogation, the actor allegedly admitted to firing two rounds from his licensed firearm. Police then formally arrested him in connection with the case.
KRK Remanded to Police Custody
On Saturday, a Bandra court remanded KRK to police custody until January 27 so that further investigation could continue. Videos shared online showed him being escorted by police with his face covered as he left the courtroom, drawing wide attention on social media.
KRK’s Statement and Case Details
According to police sources, KRK claimed that the shots were fired accidentally while cleaning and testing his gun, saying he aimed at a nearby mangrove area thinking it was safe. Officials are still investigating the exact motive and whether the firing was negligent or deliberate.
The weapon used in the incident has been seized by the police, and the case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act.
Reaction and Next Steps
KRK’s arrest has caused a stir in the entertainment world and among the public, with many watching closely as the investigation unfolds. The police are expected to question more details about how the shooting happened and whether the actor’s gun licence will be affected.
