Actor Manoj Bajpayee on Tuesday filed a criminal defamation case against actor Kamaal R Khan in an Indore court. KRK, as he is commonly known, was previously slammed with a lawsuit by actor Salman Khan, on similar grounds.

 

According to news agency PTI, Manoj Bajpayee filed the criminal complaint in the court of judicial magistrate first class (JMFC) against KRK under IPC section 500 (punishment for defamation). He urged the court to register a criminal defamation case in the matter, the actor's lawyer Paresh S Joshi said in a press release.

 

While the tweets have now been deleted, there's still one tweet on the microblogging platform, in which Khan is referring to Bajpayee as Charsi/Ganjedi (stoner). 

 

According to reports, the complaint has been filed at the Indore Court. Sharing an update on the case, Bajpayee’s lawyer Paresh S Joshi says, “We have filed a private criminal defamation complaint against Mr Kamaal R Khan for offences under Section 499, and Section 500 of the IPC (Indian Penal Code).”

 

 “With regard to the complaint, my client’s statements were also recorded by the honourable Court, and further the matter has been fixed for evidence for other witnesses. This is the current status of the case. The next hearing is on September 4,” he adds.

 

The advocate also adds that right now they are not filing any case against comedian Sunil Pal. Reportedly; a few days ago Pal had taken a dig at Bajpayee while talking about lack of censorship on OTT platforms.
