Social media celebrity, Kamaal Rashid Khan, popularly known as KRK, was arrested by Versova Police in Mumbai on Monday for allegedly demanding sexual favours from an actress and holding her hand in 2019. The incident, according to the complainant, took place in January 2019.

"Kamaal Rashid Khan was presented in Bandra court today where he was sent to 14-day judicial custody," said the Versova Police on Sunday.
On the complainant's complaint, the Versova police had registered a case against KRK in June 2021 under sections 354(A) and 509 of the IPC.
Earlier, KRK was sent to 14-day judicial custody by the Borivali Court on August 30. According to the police, KRK was arrested over FIR against his controversial social media posts in 2020. The FIR was lodged on the basis of a complaint by Yuva Sena leader Rahul Kanal on April 30, 2020, where he alleged that KRK's tweets on the late Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor allegedly spread "hatred".
Rahul had said in the FIR that a person named Kamal R Khan is "regularly spreading hatred" on social media.
"He came into Bollywood with a movie named 'Deshdrohi' (traitor) and is really acting like one. Even when the world is going through a pandemic, I can`t understand his inhumane behaviour and spreading hatred in all spheres of life.The complainant said KRK was making hateful comments against late actors Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor."
After Irrfan Khan, who is India's pride, passed away, he made poor claims and statements on him. He was also talking crap about senior actor late Rishi Kapoor also," the complainant further stated. Khan was allegedly not in Mumbai when the complaint was first filed. He was apprehended after he landed at Mumbai airport. (Agencies)
