The complainant Rahul Kanal made the news of the arrest official as he informed, “Kamaal R Khan has been arrested today on my complaint. I welcome this move by Mumbai police. He makes derogatory comments on social media and uses foul language. Such kind of behavior is unacceptable in society. By arresting him, Mumbai police has sent out a strong message against such people.”

Last year, Salman Khan had also filed a defamation case against KRK after the latter made a video on his film Radhe. The complaint was filed to restrain KRK from making any comments directly or indirectly on him or any of his work. KRK has been a part of films like Deshdrohi and Ek Villain, and apart from that he is known for his controversial tweets towards Bollywood.
