Aftab Shivdasani lost Rs. 1.50 lakh from his bank account after he clicked on a link to update his KYC (Know Your Customer) details. The link was a fraudulent one and the money was withdrawn from the actor’s savings account on October 8.
The Bandra (Bombay) police, who registered a case on October 9, said that the actor had fallen prey to KYC fraud on receiving a message that his banking account would be suspended if his PAN card details were not updated.
The cyber wing of the Bandra police is probing the case. The process to freeze the account to which the money got credited has been initiated.
