Actor held in Oshiwara firing case, admits shots fired from licensed gun
January 24, 2026: Actor and film critic Kamaal R Khan, popularly known as KRK, has been remanded to three days of police custody by a Bandra court in connection with the Oshiwara firing incident. He was arrested by the Mumbai Police after being identified as the main suspect in the case that triggered panic at a residential complex in Andheri on January 18. According to police, KRK admitted during questioning that he had fired shots using a firearm licensed in his name.
The firing incident involved two rounds being discharged at Nalanda Society in Oshiwara, with bullets recovered from a second-floor and a fourth-floor apartment. Police said one of the affected flats belongs to a writer-director, while the other is owned by a model. No injuries were reported, but the incident caused alarm among residents, prompting a detailed investigation.
A special team from the Oshiwara police station, along with crime branch units, conducted forensic and ballistic examinations after CCTV footage failed to yield clear leads. Investigators concluded that the bullets were likely fired from KRK’s bungalow, strengthening the case against him. Police have seized the licensed weapon and said the probe is ongoing to determine the motive and assess whether further charges may be added.
