Actor
and
film
critic
Kamaal
R
Khan,
popularly
known
as
KRK,
has
been
granted
bail
by
a
court
in
Mumbai
in
a
2021
molestation
case
registered
against
him
by
Versova
Police.
However,
he
will
continue
to
remain
in
jail
as
his
bail
plea
in
another
case
is
still
pending
before
the
magistrate
court
in
Borivali,
Mumbai.
This
case
dates
back
to
2020
when
KRK
had
allegedly
posted
some
objectionable
tweets
about
celebrities
like
Akshay
Kumar,
Ram
Gopal
Varma,
and
others.
The
bail
application
is
likely
to
be
heard
on
Wednesday
(September
7,
2022).
Speaking
about
the
molestation
case,
as
per
a
report
in
PTI,
the
Versova
Police
on
Sunday
had
taken
KRK’s
custody
and
produced
him
before
the
court.
His
lawyers
in
the
bail
plea,
stated
that
the
contents
of
the
First
Information
Report
(FIR)
did
not
match
the
alleged
molestation
incident
practically.
It
also
stated
that
the
complainant
registered
the
FIR
18
months
after
the
incident
and
that
too,
when
her
friend
asked
her
to
do
so.
The
lawyers
argued
that
Indian
Penal
Code
(IPC)
sections
invoked
against
KRK
was
bailable.
The
court
heard
the
plea
and
granted
him
bail.
The
molestation
case
against
KRK
was
reportedly
registered
in
June
2021
based
on
the
complaint
of
an
actress
who
claimed
that
KRK
had
called
her
to
his
bungalow
in
Versova
on
the
pretext
of
offering
her
the
lead
role
in
a
film.
She
alleged
that
he
spiked
her
drink
and
touched
her
inappropriately,
Based
on
the
complaint
of
the
victim,
the
Versova
Police
had
booked
KRK
under
sections
354(A)
(sexual
harassment
of
the
nature
of
unwelcome
physical
contact)
and
509
(word
or
gesture
intending
to
insult
the
modesty
of
any
woman)
of
the
IPC.
