New Delhi: Bollywood actor and self-styled film critic Kamal Rashid Khan aka KRK walked out of jail on Thursday, after serving nine days in prison. However, moments after his release, his son Kamal Rashid Kumar said that his father is being tortured & tormented to ‘drive him to death’. However, he didn’t specify whether his father received death threats or how the popular film critic was being tortured and by whom.
KRK’s son Kamal Kumar took to Twitter today and said that some people are torturing to kill my father in Mumbai.
He also urged some personalities from Bollywood including Junior Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh to offer help in safeguarding his life.
I am KRK’ son Faisal Kamaal. Some people are torturing to kill my father in Mumbai. I am just 23years old living in London. I don’t know how to help my father. I request @juniorbachchan @Riteishd and @Dev_Fadnavis ji to save my father’s life. Me n my sister will die without him.

“I am living in London. I don’t know how to help my father. I request @juniorbachchan, @Riteishd and Devendra Fadnavis to come to his rescue,” he wrote on Twitter.
Further venting his misgivings on KRK’s fate like popular Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, he said that he doesn’t want his father to walk down that road and also urged people to support his father through the difficult period.
Because he is our life. I request public also to support my father to save his life. We don’t want him to die like #SushantSinghRajput #WeStandWithKRK

Sushant Singh Rajput, one of the most promising actors of current generation, allegedly committed suicide at his residence in 2020. Many reports blamed power brokers with top-level connection to be behind his ‘murder plot’, however, nothing substantial to this effect could be established.
His imploration on the social media also drew interest of netizens, who tweeted and extended support to his post & his father.
