Actor KRK Arrested Over Mumbai Firing Incident; “Was Just Cleaning My Gun,” He Tells Police

MUMBAI, MAHARASHTRA—Bollywood actor and social media personality Kamaal Rashid Khan, widely known as KRK, was arrested by the Oshiwara Police on Saturday, January 24, 2026. The arrest follows a week-long investigation into a mysterious firing incident at the Nalanda Society in Andheri West.

While no injuries were reported, the incident caused significant panic among residents of the high-profile locality.

1. The Incident: Bullets in the Balcony

The investigation was triggered on Sunday, January 18, 2026, when residents discovered damage to their homes.

• The Impacts: One bullet was recovered from the second-floor flat of a writer-director, while another was found on the fourth floor, which houses a model’s residence.
• Forensic Breakthrough: With no immediate CCTV leads, the State Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) conducted trajectory mapping. The analysis indicated the shots were fired from the direction of KRK’s nearby bungalow.

2. KRK’s Defense: A Cleaning Mishap?

During interrogation at the Oshiwara police station, KRK reportedly admitted to the firing but offered an unusual explanation.

• The “Test Fire”: KRK told investigators he was cleaning his licensed firearm and decided to test its functionality.
• The Wind Factor: He claimed he aimed toward a dense mangrove forest in front of his house, assuming the bullets would be lost in the brush. However, he alleged that strong winds caused the projectiles to travel further than intended, accidentally striking the Nalanda Society building.

3. Legal Status and Next Steps

• Arrest Details: An 18-member team led by Senior Inspector Sanjay Chavan and DCP Dikshit Gedam (Zone 9) oversaw the operation.
• Weapon Seized: The licensed firearm has been confiscated for ballistic testing to confirm if it matches the recovered projectiles.
• Court Appearance: KRK is expected to be produced before a local magistrate later today, where police will seek his custody for further questioning to determine if there was any malicious intent.
