A Mumbai court on Tuesday granted bail to actor Kamaal R Khan, popularly known as KRK, in a 2021 molestation case registered against him by the suburban Versova police. Khan, however, was retained in jail, as his bail plea is pending before the Borivali magistrate court in the 2020 case of controversial tweets about late actors Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan.
The molestation case was registered in June 2021 based on the complaint of a 27-year-old woman. The complainant had alleged that Khan had called her to his bungalow in Versova on the pretext of offering her the lead role in a film. He spiked her drink and touched her inappropriately, as per the FIR.
