Bollywood actor Kirti Kulhari has reportedly become the latest public figure to fall victim to an alleged cyber fraud. The actor approached the Amboli Police Station in Mumbai after noticing multiple unauthorised transactions on her credit card, resulting in a loss of ₹2.43 lakh.

Police have registered a case and launched an investigation to identify those responsible for the suspected financial fraud.

Fraud detected after bank alert

According to reports, the incident came to light while Kirti Kulhari was at Cinepolis near Fun Republic Mall in Andheri West. She reportedly received an alert from her bank regarding a transaction worth $2,525 made through Aeromexico Airlines using her credit card.

Surprised by the notification, the actor immediately contacted her bank to verify the transaction.

Bank officials allegedly informed her that four unauthorised transactions had been processed using the same card. To prevent any further misuse, the bank promptly blocked the credit card.

Based on the complaint, the total financial loss is estimated at ₹2,43,853.

In her complaint, Kirti Kulhari reportedly stated that she had never shared her credit card PIN, password or other confidential banking details with anyone.

Investigation underway

Cybercrime investigators are working with banking records and digital footprints to determine how the card details were accessed and where the fraudulent transactions originated.
