MUMBAI, AUG 30 (ONLINE) Early this morning, Kamal Rashid Khan, aka KRK, was arrested by the Malad Police in Mumbai. He had made a couple of controversial tweets in 2020, including some against late actors Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor. KRK, who acted in his own production Deshdrohi, has used social media and the web to make derogatory remarks against various actors, filmmakers and movies in the guise of being a film critic. His comments in 2020 had particularly enraged Yuva Sena\u2019s Rahul Kanal, who had registered several complaints against him in different police stations across the city, including suburbs like Bandra.<\/p>\n
Today, after KRK was arrested from the airport in Mumbai, Kanal told BT, \u201cI\u2019m really happy with the way the Mumbai Police has acted in this matter. There\u2019s a difference between being a film critic and being a rabble-rouser. He may call himself a filmmaker and critic but he is the latter – a person with filthy thoughts, which he puts out in the public domain without any care or concern. <\/p>\n
He\u2019s nothing but just a foul-mouthed person with social media following. His tweets, most of the times, are derogatory and defamatory toward public figures, especially from the film industry. He has spared almost no one. I was extremely enraged with some of his comments and I have registered complaints against him in many police stations in the city in recent years. The one registered in Malad is one of the many complaints against him, registered in 2020. <\/p>\n
I was passing Malad when I read his tweet against Mr Rishi Kapoor who had just passed away. It was in such bad taste and so derogatory that I couldn\u2019t stop myself from reaching out to the police. I am really glad that with his arrest, we are setting a precedent for everyone who thinks social media is a great place to create trouble, show disrespect, and put out derogatory stuff against just about anyone. <\/p>\n
An example has to be set for people like KRK who misuse social media and disrespect people.\u201dKamal Rashid Khan will be presented in the Borivali Court later in the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
