FIR against unknown person for impersonating Hrithik

The actor had even complained to the police commissioner that someone had allegedly created a fake email account in his name

The cyber police station has recently registered a FIR against an unknown person for allegedly impersonation actor Hrithik Roshan by creating a fake email ID in his name and using it to chat with the actor’s fans.

An officer from the cyber police station said they have registered a FIR under relevant sections of the Information Technology Act against the person for allegedly committing identity theft and impersonation.

Hrithik’s father Rakesh Roshan had approached the police station earlier this month with a written complaint, reminding them of the complaint made in December 2014 to initiate action against the person. Back then Hrithik had even complained to the Mumbai police commissioner after getting to know that someone else has allegedly created a fake email account in his name. The actor got worried when he was told that a girl had sent her controversial pictures to the fake email account presuming it was his.

Hrithik, in a letter to the then police commissioner Rakesh Maria and the BKC cyber crime division, had said that a person is in contact with his friends and fans using a fake email address by the name of hroshan@email.com. He got to know about the fake account when he started receiving calls from his friends asking why he was not replying to their emails. The impersonator allegedly communicated with Roshan’s fans and people from the film industry.

DCP, cyber, M Raj Kumar and Hrithik’s lawyer Deepesh Mehta refused to comment on the development.
