personality, self-proclaimed critic and actor Kamaal R Khan was arrested by the Mumbai police on January 24 for firing gunshots at a residential building. A week later, he was released on a personal bond of Rs 25,000. The Oshiwara police took him in custody for questioning and he was bailed out from the Arthur Road jail.
