KRK was arrested on Tuesday morning at the Mumbai airport for his 2020 tweets. Although the police have not confirmed which tweets landed the actor in trouble, various news reports claim it was his posts about Akshay Kumar and Ram Gopal Verma among other posts that were communal and targeted at Bollywood personalities.
A magistrate’s court in Borivali on Tuesday remanded Khan in 14-day judicial custody and adjourned the bail hearing to September 2.
Police sought his custody for four days, saying they needed to find out at whose behest he was posting such tweets from a foreign country despite knowing that they might create communal tension. Police also needed to ascertain if he was trying to extort money from filmmakers or stars for not posting negative reviews of movies, the remand application said.
