Indore Court Issues Arrest Warrant Against Actor KRK: Defamation Case Filed By Manoj Bajpayee

The Indore district court recently issued an arrest warrant against film producer-actor Kamal Rashid Khan aka KRK for not remaining present in a defamation case filed against him by actor Manoj Bajpayee.

Bajpayee filed a case against Khan after the latter, in a few tweets in 2021, allegedly called him a drug addict. Bajpayee’s lawyer, advocate Paresh Joshi stated that the Judicial Magistrate First Class here on Thursday issued an arrest warrant against KRK and posted the next hearing of the case to May 10.

Earlier, the court issued bailable warrants against Khan for not remaining present before the court. Bajpayee stated in an application that Khan was aware of the case against him but was not appearing intentionally to cause delay. Khan’s lawyer submitted that the action against him should have stayed as he has moved to the Supreme Court.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court on December 13, 2022, dismissed Khan’s plea seeking that the defamation case against him be quashed. Khan’s lawyers claimed in the High Court that one of the Twitter handles ‘KRK box office’, from which a tweet in question was posted in 2021, had been “sold” to one Saleem Ahmed in October 2020. He had never intentionally tweeted anything against Bajpayee, his lawyers stated.
