In 2016, Hrithik Roshan had filed an FIR against Kangana Ranaut which was initially concern of the Cyber Cell but the case has now been transferred to the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU).
Hrithik had claimed in 2016 that he received hundreds of emails in 2013-2014 sent from Kangana’s email ID.
The case was registered by Hrithik against unknown people under section 419 of IPC r/w 66 C and D. Now, as per Peeping Moon, senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani has written a letter to the commissioner of police stating that there has been no progress in the investigation of the case.
Check out the letter:
“We write to you on behalf of our client Mr. Hrithik Roshan. Our client lodged a FIR bearing C.R.No.78/ 2016 dated 23.05.2016, with the cyber crime police station against unidentified individuals for offenses punishable under sections 419 IPC r/w. sections 66(c) and 66 (d) of the IT Act. A copy of the FIR is attached herewith for ease of reference. Our client co-operated with the investigation and handed over his electronic devices. It is pertinent to state that inspite of an order dated 30.11.2016, passed by the Ld. Magistrate, Esplanade Court, directing return of our client’s laptop and phone he has not collected the same as he wanted to assist the police reach the real culprits who had impersonated him. Pursuant thereto, a complaint dated April 07, 2017 was also filed with the cyber crime police station.

We thus request to kindly look in the matter and issue appropriate orders to kindly direct completion of investigation at the earliest since the same is pending since 2016.”
To this news, Kangana Ranaut reacted on Twitter saying, “His sob story starts again, so many years since our break up and his divorce but he refuses to move on, refuses to date any woman, just when I gather courage to find some hope in my personal life he starts the same drama again, @iHrithik kab tak royega ek chote se affair keliye?”
Roshan said he was harassed by Kangana after she sent hundreds of emails to him but Ranaut later on claimed that he had an affair with her, which he wanted to hide due to his then unsettled divorce with his ex-wife Sussanne Khan.
