MUMBAI: An application has been filed by Mumbai police before a local court seeking issuance of notice to authorities at Mail and Media Inc regarding information about an email ID allegedly created by an imposter in the name of Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan.

On March 25, Hrithik had registered a complaint with the cyber crime cell in suburban BKC here claiming that the ID ‘hroshan.Email.Com’ has been generated by an imposter and that the person was using it to communicate with his fans and others.

Hrithik had lodged the complaint after actress Kangana Ranaut at filmmaker Karan Johar’s birthday party in May 2014 thanked Hrithik for appreciating her work in the film “Queen”.

When Hrithik told her he had not seen the movie, Kangana told him that she had received an email from him from the ‘hroshan.Email.Com’ ID and that she has been corresponding on the email ID since several months.

Hrithik then denied having any such email address and said his ID was hroshan@mac.Com. Kangana, who has fallen out with Hrithik, later forwarded all the email sent and received by her from the ‘hroshan.Email.Com’ ID.

Acting on Hrithik’s complaint, the cyber crime cell on March 18 sent a letter to the Chief Technical Officer of Mail and Media Inc. Which runs ’email.Com’ seeking information about the said account.(Agencies)
