Actor
and
self-proclaimed
film
critic
Kamaal
R
Khan,
popularly
known
as
KRK,
is
known
for
his
controversial
tweets
and
videos;
some
of
which
are
often
borderline
offensive.
He
is
often
seen
taking
jibes
at
Bollywood
celebrities
and
their
movies
on
Twitter
and
his
YouTube
channel.

It
seems
like
one
of
his
posts
on
social
media
has
now
landed
him
in
legal
trouble.
According
to
ANI,
KRK
was
arrested
today
(August
30)
after
he
landed
at
Mumbai
airport
over
a
controversial
tweet
which
he
posted
in
2020.
He
will
be
produced
before
Borivali
Court
today.

A

“Maharashtra

As
per
a
report
in
Hindustan
Times,
while
it
is
still
unclear
for
which
tweet
the
actor
was
arrested,
an
FIR
was
registered
against
him
for
his
derogatory
comments
on
late
actors
Rishi
Kapoor
and
Irrfan
Khan
on
social
media
in
2020.

On
April
30,
KRK
had
tweeted
about
Rishi
Kapoor’s
hospitalisation
and
said
the
actor
must
not
die
as
wine
shops
were
set
to
open
soon.
He
had
also
taken
a
dig
at
Irrfan
Khan,
a
day
before
his
death
on
April
29.

Following
this,
an
FIR
was
registered
against
him
for
making
derogatory
remarks
about
both
the
deceased
actors
under
section
294
(punishment
for
obscene
acts
or
words
in
public)
and
other
provisions
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code.
