Hrithik Roshan Recorded Statement to Mumbai Crime Branch
Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan arrived at the Mumbai police commissioner’s office on Saturday to record his statement in a fake email identification case.
Mumbai Police Crime Branch had summoned him in connection with her 2016 complaint about false emails on her behalf to Kangana Ranaut, asking her to visit the Criminal Intelligence Unit (CIU) at the commissioner’s office on Saturday afternoon.

In his complaint, Roshan had alleged that someone was impersonating him and was emailing actor Ranaut from a fake email ID in his name. The complaint had sparked a dispute between the two.
A case under sections 419 (cheating per person) of the IPC and sections 66C (identity theft), 66D (cheating per person using computer resources) of the Information Technology Act was filed against an unknown person at the Police Station of Cyber Police.
In December 2020, Roshan’s lawyer had approached the Mumbai police commissioner about the pending investigation, after which she was transferred to the Crime Division’s CIU, an official told PTI.
She is a freelance blogger, writer, and speaker, and writes for various entertainment magazines.
