Kamaal R Khan Granted Bail in Lokhandwala Firing Case

The order follows custody after investigators linked a licensed pistol to bullets recovered in a Lokhandwala building.

Overview

  • An Andheri magistrate granted Khan bail set at Rs 25,000, and the criminal case remains active.
  • Police say two bullets were found on January 18 inside flats on the second and fourth floors of Nalanda Society, with no injuries reported.
  • Investigators report drone-assisted trajectory work and checks of licensed weapons led them to Khan, who, according to police, admitted firing his licensed gun.
  • Defence counsel argues the arrest violated BNSS and constitutional safeguards, cites no alleged motive, and says the pistol’s effective range makes a 1,500‑metre shot implausible.
  • Khan faces Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Arms Act charges; police have referred to a ballistic link, while one report notes the formal ballistic report is still awaited and the detailed bail order is not yet public.
