Self-proclaimed film critic, KRK was booked after a Vadodara-based 19 year old student, Ujjawal Krishnam wrote to the local police.

In the complain, the student stated that Kamaal Rashid Khan, a self-proclaimed Bollywood critic, in a recent video, can be seen delivering hate speech against a specific community. Despite the Supreme Court's iconic judgment, this person did not stop to deliver a speech which cannot be called less than obscene, vulgar, derogatory and offensive.

He also expressed how despite 9000 dislikes on the video, none of them went ahead to lodge a formal complaint against the actor. 

Khan has been booked for obscenity, promoting communal disharmony, passing statements aimed at causing hatred or enmity between classes and defamation under the Indian Penal Code, the police said.

This is not the first time that KRK has been a magnet to controversies, but last month when the revolutionary #MeToo movement was catching momentum, the actor  came ahead and said that he fired all his female employees from Dubai and India. 

To add on the filth, he even claimed that he will neither talk to any woman or have any parties from now. 

The now deleted tweet read, “Yes! It’s 100% true “Ki Main Biwi Ka Ghulam Hoon” So I followed her order. And now we don’t have any female staff in any of my office in India or Dubai. No parties! No talking with any girl. Thanks to #MeToo!”

Although his Twitter account is not verified, the tweet created chaos among people. He even got trolled for his tweet and later deleted it. Kamaal R Khan is well known for his useless Twitter rants and for adding fuel to fights. He targets Bollywood celebrities and openly insults them on social media. He even reviews films on social media, but alas, he is never taken seriously.
