He had also allegedly taken pot-shots at Irrfan, a day before his death on 29 April, the official added. “We have registered an FIR against Kamal R Khan for making derogatory remarks about both the deceased actors under section 294 (punishment for obscene acts or words in public) and other provisions of the IPC,” a senior police official said. No arrest has been made so far and further probe was underway, he added. Veteran actor Rishi succumbed to leukemia on 30 April, less than 24 hours after Irrfan died of colon infection on 29 April.
