Kamaal R. Khan Remanded to Police Custody Till January 27 in Oshiwara Firing Case

Police cite an admission to using a licensed pistol during ongoing forensic verification of the shot trajectory.

Overview

  • A Bandra court ordered police custody to continue the probe, including ballistic examinations and motive inquiries.
  • The January 18 incident at Oshiwara’s Nalanda Society left no injuries, with bullets found on the second and fourth floors in flats occupied by writer‑director Neeraj Kumar Mishra and model Prateek Baid.
  • Initial CCTV checks yielded no leads, and forensic trajectory analysis led investigators to the vicinity of Khan’s nearby bungalow.
  • Mumbai Police registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act, seized his licensed firearm, and submitted bullets and shell casings for examination by the Crime Branch and forensic teams.
  • Khan told police he fired while cleaning and testing the gun toward a mangrove area, a claim his lawyer disputes by questioning ballistic range and alleging fabrication.
