Manoj Bajpayee Files A Case Against Kamaal R Khan In Indore; Hearing To Be Held Next Week In Supreme Court; KRK Says Actor Does Not Trust Mumbai Police

Last year, Manoj Bajpayee filed a criminal complaint against Kamaal R Khan aka KRK for tarnishing his image and reputation in public. A case under section 500 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was filed against KRK at the direction of the Indore district court. In December, the court dismissed KRK's plea after hearing both sides saying that remarks made in a tweet were good enough to tarnish the image of Manoj. Now, in his latest tweet, the self-proclaimed film critic has again taken a dig at Bajpayee.

Taking to his Twitter handle, KRK shared a note having the details of the case and wrote, “Manoj Bajpayee is living in Mumbai but he went all the way to Indore to file a case against me. Means he doesn’t trust @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice and Mumbai courts. Case hearing is at Supreme Court on 20th march 2023.”

The next hearing in the case will be held on 20th March. Earlier, while quashing KRK’s plea, the court had said in its order, “In the instant case, the tweets in question by and large point towards the character of the respondent (Manoj Bajpayee). However, the same were tweeted with an intent to malign the reputation of respondent or not is a matter of evidence, which cannot be decided by this court by invoking the inherent powers vested under section 482 of CrPC.” ALSO READ: Manoj Bajpayee Files Criminal Defamation Plea Against Kamaal R Khan Over His Derogatory 'Ganjedi' Tweet; Deets INSIDE

In his tweets, KRK had called Manoj Charsi/Ganjedi (stoner) and passed derogatory comments against his show the ‘Family Man.’ KRK had written, “I am not a Lukkha and Faaltu in life, So I don’t watch web series. Better you ask Sunil Pal. But why do you like to watch a Charsi, Ganjedi Manoj? You can’t be selective. If you hate Charsi Ganjedi in Bollywood, So you should hate everyone.”
