Mumbai: Bollywood film director Boney Kapoor has filed a complaint with the police about cyber fraud, alleging that someone got his bank details and stole around Rs 4 lakh from his account. The Amboli police in Mumbai registered an FIR Wednesday under relevant sections of the Information Technology Act.

According to sources, the director recently realised that a hefty amount had been debited from his bank account. When he enquired about this from the bank, he got to know about the fraud and then filed a written complaint with the police. 

Kapoor told the police that he neither received any suspicious call nor did he give his bank details to anyone. Police officers believe that the fraudsters had got access to his credit card, and got details of the director’s bank account from that.

On February 9, the fraudsters allegedly transferred Rs 3.82 lakh in five installments from the director’s bank account. According to the primary investigation, the money was transferred to a bank account in Gurgaon.

Recently, Boney Kapoor talked about the debut of her daughter Khushi Kapoor in Zoya Akhtar's next film, ‘The Archies’. The producer called the film, a “dream project.” The movie also stars Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan and Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda among others.
