Mumbai Police arrested him on Friday after questioning him over firing four bullets at a residential building in Oshiwara on January 18.

During questioning, KRK told the police that the firing was unintentional. He claimed the gun went off while he was cleaning his licensed firearm. According to him, he fired the bullets only to check the gun’s “functionality.” He also told the police that he never meant to hurt anyone.
As per sources, KRK said he aimed the gun towards a large mangrove forest in front of his house. He believed the bullets would get lost in the dense greenery. However, things went wrong due to strong winds at the time. The bullets allegedly travelled beyond the mangroves and hit a residential building in Oshiwara.
