After
actor
and
self-proclaimed
film
critic
Kamaal
R
Khan
AKA
KRK
was
granted
bail
in
the
2020
molestation
case
by
a
court
in
Mumbai
on
Tuesday,
he
has
now
got
a
major
relief
in
another
court
case
as
well.
A
court
in
Mumbai
granted
bail
to
KRK
in
the
case
in
connection
with
his
controversial
tweets
about
Bollywood
superstar
Akshay
Kumar,
filmmaker
Ram
Gopal
Varma
and
others,
to
name
a
few.
KRK,
currently
in
judicial
custody,
was
arrested
by
the
police
from
the
Mumbai
airport
last
week
in
connection
with
his
tweets.
The
cops
had
claimed
that
his
posts
were
communal
and
he
targeted
Bollywood
celebrities.
However,
KRK’s
lawyers
Ashok
Sarogi
and
Jay
Yadav
in
his
bail
plea,
claimed
that
the
tweets
under
scanner,
were
only
his
comments
on
Akshay’s
film
Laxmii
and
that
no
offence
was
committed
by
him
as
alleged
by
the
cops.
The
bail
plea
further
mentioned
that
KRK
is
acting
as
a
“critic
and/or
reporter
in
the
film
industry.”
An
FIR
was
filed
against
KRK
in
2020
under
various
Indian
Penal
Code
(IPC)
sections,
including
153
(wantonly
giving
provocation
with
intent
to
cause
riot)
and
500
(punishment
for
defamation),
and
provisions
of
the
Information
Technology
Act.
KRK
often
finds
himself
in
the
news
for
his
controversial
tweets
and
videos
on
Bollywood
celebrities
and
their
movies.
