Nargis Fakhri becomes victim of online fraud, loses Rs. 6 Lakh

Nargis Fakhri, who was recently vacationing abroad, returned to India last week but it seems that the actress has landed in a major problem. Reportedly, the actress has been cheated of Rs. 6 lakh through fraudulent use of her credit card in the United States on August 15.

Nargis Fakhri filed a complaint regarding the same at Juhu Police Station on late Monday night. Her complaint read that she came across the fraud on her credit card only when she had scanned through the text messages late on Monday and saw the transactions made in the US against shopping payment. Also, the bank did not call her to alert about the transactions.

An official from Juhu Police station informed that 14 transactions were made through Nargis’ credit card in the US while she was in Mumbai. The inspector in-charge revealed that the card details were used to withdraw money and not for shopping. As the transactions took place abroad, Kotak Mahindra Bank will also be asked about the details of transactions and they will conduct an investigation on why the bank didn’t react or block the transactions immediately. The officials have filed the complaint under the sections of Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act. They will also seek help of the cyber police department in this case.
