Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor has fallen prey to cyber fraud. Unauthorised transactions of around Rs 4 lakh were carried out using his credit card, as per ANI.

Boney Kapoor lodges police complaint over cyber fraud of close to Rs 4 lakh

The complaint lodged by Kapoor was registered at the Amboli police station in Mumbai on Wednesday under relevant sections of the Information Technology Act. He learnt of the fraud when the money was deducted from his bank account. He enquired about the incident and requested details of the transactions from the bank. Later, he alerted the police about being duped. 

In the written complaint, Kapoor alleged that he hasn't shared the details of his credit card with anyone. He also did not receive any calls from a bank or any other source regarding the card details. Officials suspect that someone must have acquired the data, while Kapoor was using the card. 

As for the deducted amount, the money was transferred to the bank account of a company in Gurugram. Further investigation into the case is underway. Meanwhile, Kapoor hasn't spoken about the fraudulent activity yet. More details regarding the case can only be confirmed once the investigation is complete.
