Actor Kamaal R Khan Sent To Judicial Custody In Oshiwara Firing Case

Actor and self-proclaimed film critic Kamaal R Khan has been remanded to judicial custody by the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate's Court in Mumbai connection with a firing case in the locality of Oshiwara.

Khan was produced before the court on Tuesday at the end of his police custody.

The Oshiwara firing case is currently under probe, with authorities examining evidence and statements related to the incident.

Khan is expected to remain in custody as the investigation proceeds, with the next date of hearing likely to be scheduled by the court.

Khan was arrested by the Mumbai Police after being questioned in the firing incident.

According to the Mumbai Police, the incident took place in a residential building in Oshiwara. After the firing was reported, police reviewed CCTV footage from the area and spoke to several people.

During the investigation, Khan was initially taken into custody for questioning. According to the police, the actor was detained in the case after admitting during questioning that the firing was done with his licensed gun.

He was sent to police custody till January 27 by a Bandra Court.

In response to the matter, advocate Nagesh Mishra, representing Khan, described the case as "fabricated".

"The contention of the police is that I [Khan] fired a bullet from my [Khan's] gun. But it is not correct... the bullet has a maximum capacity of 20 metres, and the place where this gun was fired was at a distance of 400 metres. It is not possible... Many big names in Bollywood are instigating the police to implicate him in this case," he said.
