Neha Kakkar’s name misused in Rs 5 lakh investment scam; FIR filed at Worli police station

admin

According to an FIR registered at the Worli police station, Advocate Shabnam Mohammad Hussain Syed discovered a series of fake articles and videos in June 2025 that falsely associated Neha Kakkar with an investment outfit called FXOnet. The scammers portrayed the platform as “trusted and legal,” using Kakkar’s image to lend credibility. Syed, a resident of BDD Chawl in Worli, was lured by these fraudulent promotions and engaged with the alleged perpetrators, who went by the names Vijay and later Jimmy D’Souza. Communication was maintained through international numbers, the Telegram messaging app (user ID: @fxonetlbot), and Zoom meetings, giving the operation a veneer of authenticity. The accused provided investment “tips” and guided Syed through opening an FXOnet trading account. Between June 18 and October 9, 2025, Syed transferred Rs 5, 02, 025 through UPI to various bank accounts linked to entities, including Rajesh Kannan, VPI ProMedia Kigali, India Impex Trading Company, and VPI 361 VPECOM. When Syed failed to receive any promised returns or refunds, she realised she had been deceived and filed a police complaint. Mumbai Police have booked the accused under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act (IT Act). Investigators are collecting digital evidence, including Telegram chats, Zoom call details, and transaction records, to trace the culprits. This is not the first time fraudsters have exploited celebrity identities in financial scams. Earlier, Mumbai Police registered another complaint involving a scammer impersonating Hollywood star Keanu Reeves to cheat a 69-year-old woman out of Rs 65, 000.

Delhi HC intervenes in case of Celina Jaitly’s brother held in the UAE

admin

The Delhi High Court has taken up the case on its own initiative involving Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, brother of Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly, who has been detained in the United Arab Emirates since September 2024. On November 3, 2025, the court issued directives to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and other relevant Union authorities to ensure that Vikrant receives effective legal representation and that his family is kept fully informed about his status and legal proceedings abroad. Justice Sachin Datta, presiding over the matter, heard the case in the presence of Celina Jaitly, who appeared personally in court. The court issued a notice to the Union of India and mandated the appointment of a nodal officer who will act as a communication bridge between the Jaitly family and the UAE authorities. The nodal officer is tasked with providing regular updates on Vikrant’s condition, legal status, and any developments in the case. Celina brought to the court’s attention the lack of sufficient consular access since her brother’s alleged detention on September 6, 2024. Vikrant, who has been residing in the UAE since 2016 and working with a trading and risk management firm, was reportedly taken into custody under unclear circumstances. Celina expressed the emotional difficulty caused by the limited communication and absence of clear information about her brother’s welfare. The court directed the government to submit a detailed status report on Major Jaitly’s condition and legal proceedings before the next hearing scheduled for December 4, 2025. The bench emphasised the importance of maintaining contact between Vikrant and his family, as well as ensuring that his legal rights are upheld. On the occasion of Bhai Dooj earlier this year, Celina Jaitly posted a heartfelt message for her brother, reflecting the strong family bond amidst the ongoing hardship.
