Fake casting agent arrested over defrauding Akshay Kumar's production house
As per ANI, Mumbai's Juhu police station has arrested a man for trying to dupe Bade Miyan Chote Miyan actor Akshay Kumar's production house, Cape of Good Films under the guise of offering a job to social media influencer Pooja Anandani in connection with a plan to dupe her.
Prince Kumar Sinha, the arrested suspect is 29-year-old. His fraud attempt could not take much time to diffuse as Pooja avoided becoming a victim and informed the police at the earliest. The Juhu police officer revealed that the accused, who approached Anandani, identified himself as Rohan Mehra, allegedly an employee of Akshay Kumar's production house.
More details of the case
Despite not being associated with the production house, the accused lured Anandani with job opportunities, claimed to be involved in making a film based on the Nirbhaya case, and invited her to meet him in Juhu.
Their first encounter took place at a local coffee shop, where he allegedly requested Pooja to pose for photographs taken by a photographer who allegedly claimed affiliation with megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Subsequently, they arranged to meet again at the JW Marriott Hotel in Juhu, where Anandani had already informed the police about the situation. Immediately, officers intervened and arrested Prince at the pre-arranged meeting point.
On April 3, further information was gathered from the Juhu Police which suggested that the accused contacted Anandani under the alias Rohan Mehra, and fakely represented himself as a Cape of Good Films employee. However, the investigation revealed that no such person worked in the production house.
Anandani, upon discovering the fraud, immediately informed the production house, confirming the fraudsters' fraud attempt. In response, Anandani complained to the nearby Juhu police station, which led to the registration of a case against the culprit and his subsequent arrest.
It is also learned that an investigation into the matter is underway, with authorities urging people to exercise caution and verify the validity of offers before committing to them.
