On September 29, the actor was preparing to leave for the shoot when he got a call. The caller introduced himself as Krishnakumar Reddy and said that he was calling from the head office of a private bank. Kapoor asked him to speak to his accountant, but Reddy insisted that he would have to speak to the account holder only as it pertains to his KYC process. When the actor asked what he needed, Reddy said that his KYC is pending and till the process is completed, his bank account will be deactivated the same day. ,
About 10 minutes later, the actor got a call from his bank and was told that his account had been compromised. The fraudster had changed the phone number associated with the account. When the actor spoke to the customer care, Rs 4.36 lakh was transferred from his account before the account access was blocked. “At least one account where the money was transferred is being operated from Darbhanga, A state in Eastern India“said an officer.
