Kamaal R Khan hospitalised after complaining of chest pain hours after his arrest

Actor -turned-film critic Kamaal Rashid Khan aka KRK was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai after he complained of chest pain hours after being arrested.

He was apprehended at the Mumbai airport on Tuesday morning over his controversial tweets on late actors Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan in 2020, and sent to a 14-day judicial custody by Borivali court.
An FIR was filed against him based on a complaint by Yuva Sena leader Rahul Kanal on April 30, 2020. The complainant alleged that KRK's tweets on the late Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor allegedly spread hatred.

‘He came into Bollywood with a movie named 'Deshdrohi' 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.’, he said in his complaint.

‘After Irrfan Khan, who is India's pride, passed away, he was making poor claims and statements on him. He was also talking rubbish about senior actor late Rishi Kapoor also,’ he added.

However, as per Hindustan Times, KRK’s lawyer has claimed that he was arrested for tweets against actor Akshay Kumar and a film producer over the film ‘Laxmi Bomb’.

In his career KRK has contributed to a few Bhojpuri films and just two Hindi films, one is the action-thriller film 'Deshdrohi' and the second is 2014 runaway hit 'Ek Villain', where he had a cameo appearance.
