Shatrughan Sinha Supports KRK Amid His Arrest, Calls Him ‘A Self-Made Man’

The actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha called KRK "a victim of conspiracy" and said he hoped KRK will soon be given justice.

New Delhi: Kamaal Rashid Khan, also known as KRK, was detained by the Mumbai police last month in connection with an FIR against him for his controversial social media remarks from 2020. Now, the actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha has spoken out in favour of the recently detained actor, producer, and film critic. Sinha called him "a victim of conspiracy" and said he hoped KRK will soon be given justice.

Bollywood actor Shatrughan Sinha defended KRK on Monday on Twitter. The seasoned actor praised KRK as a brave, self-made man in a Twitter thread. He wrote, “One should not forget that Kamal Rashid Khan @kamaalrkhan & one should always remember that despite great opposition & struggle the ‘KRK’ is a self-made man, he has the blessings of the Almighty. He has made his place in the film industry, as well as society.”

The next tweet he shared read, “on his own. His biggest asset has been his confidence, he seems to speak without any fear or favour. He doesn’t shudder to speak his mind against all odds as he has the conviction & freedom of opinion/speech of any kind, within the framework of law/constitution.”

In the subsequent Twitter thread, he concluded, “even if not accepted. He seems to be a victim of conspiracy of circumstances. God Bless him! Hope, wish & pray that Kamal Rashid Khan gets justice which he deserves soon, sooner the better. Jai Hind!”

The authorities detained KRK for his contentious social media statements from 2020. Yuva Sena leader Rahul Kanal filed the FIR on April 30, 2020, alleging that KRK's tweets on Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor propagated 'hate'.
