WHEN SALMAN SLAPPED DEFAMATION CASE AGAINST KRK
This is not the first time Kamaal R Khan has landed in trouble for his controversial tweets. In 2021, KRK informed his followers on Twitter that Salman Khan had filed a defamation case against him. He shared the first page of the notice sent by the legal team of the superstar. In yet another tweet, KRK asked Salman’s father Salim Khan to withdraw the case. KRK also tweeted that he wouldn’t be ‘reviewing’ any of Salman Khan’s movies in the future. Later, a Mumbai civil court restrained Kamaal R Khan from posting or publishing any defamatory content about Salman Khan.
