* Kamal shouted at Poonam, Kamal felt she was referring to him when she said 'some' people are shameless and turn up at the table to eat without helping in the kitchen.

* Kamal and Bhakhtyar were sent to jail, as they were found without their mikes for several hours.

Week 3
* Day 18: Kamal hit Rohit Verma with a bottle which hits Shamita instead and went on to fight with Raju Srivastav for supporting Rohit. Kamal used highly offensive language, swearing at Raju and Rohit. Kamal was ejected from the house after all the fellow contestants started revolting against him for physical fights.
Rohit was chatting with Shamita when he said he wasted some points last day for some unworthy performances (ref - Day 16:Tasks), and that he assumed he donated those points for charity and will get over it. Kamal took offense and threw a bottle at Rohit. Raju opined that Kamal should have talked to him if felt bad about the remark, hitting Rohit was not called for. Big boss called Kamal to the confession room and advised him to calm down. The housemates were not happy about no action being taken on Kamal. They planned to leave the house if no action was taken against him. Kamal was subsequently thrown out of the house for such violent behaviour.

Week 4
