Kirti Kulhari Reports Rs 2.43 Lakh Cyber Fraud; Mumbai Police InvestigatePreviousNext

Bollywood actress-producer Kirti Kulhari fell victim to cyber fraud when unidentified criminals accessed her mobile phone and credit card, making four unauthorized foreign transactions totaling approximately Rs 2.43 lakh. The incident occurred on July 24 while she was at a cinema in Mumbai. Kulhari promptly reported the suspicious activity to her bank and filed a complaint with the Amboli police, who have registered a case and are investigating with the help of cyber experts to trace the perpetrators. Preliminary findings suggest digital theft, as Kulhari did not share her card details with anyone.
