Kamaal R Khan Sent To Police Custody Till January 27
In the latest development, the Bandra court sent KRK to police custody till January 27 in the Oshiwara firing case.
Details On The Firing Incident
The incident took place on January 18, when two bullets were fired and later recovered from the Nalanda Society in Oshiwara. One bullet was found on the second floor of the building, while the other was recovered from the fourth floor. Police said one of the flats belongs to a writer-director, while the other is occupied by a model.
Initially, cops were unable to trace the source of the firing as no clear leads were found in CCTV footage from the area. However, with the help of a forensic team, police later concluded that the bullets may have been fired from KRK’s bungalow located nearby. A team of police personnel from the Oshiwara police station, along with multiple crime branch teams, was involved in the investigation.
KRK's Statement
The police said that KRK accepted responsibility for the firing in his statement.
He claimed that he was cleaning his licensed gun and fired shots to check it, assuming the bullets would land in a nearby mangrove area. However, due to strong winds, the bullets allegedly travelled further and struck the residential building.
