Bandra Court in Mumbai delivered a firm verdict, placing KRK under police remand amid the probe into shots fired at Andheri flats. The prosecution underscored the recovery of a cartridge post two discharges, framing it as a blatant endangerment of community welfare on January 18.
In defense, KRK’s advocates dissected the police story, citing the 400-meter gap between targeted structures versus the weapon’s scant 20-meter reach, branding the charges implausible. KRK professed total ignorance of the shooter, cited his licensed firearm ownership, and highlighted his entrenched business status in the city, negating any absconding fears.
He spun a narrative of retaliation from film circles irked by his Facebook tirades against movies and personalities. The bench, unmoved, extended custody to January 27 for comprehensive inquiries into the episode’s blueprint.
Nighttime echoes of the blasts jolted locals Neeraj Kumar Mishra and Prateek Vaidya, averting tragedy by sheer luck. This saga illuminates how digital dissent can escalate perilously, urging tighter vigilance.
Investigators now hold the reins to untangle threads of intent, potentially exposing orchestrated malice lurking behind the glamour of Mumbai’s cine world.
