Kirti Kulhari Credit Card Fraud details
The incident occurred on the night of July 24 when the 43-year-old actor, who stays on Yari Road, Versova, was travelling to a multiplex in Andheri West. Cyber criminals allegedly used her details to make the fraudulent transactions, ABP News reported.
The fraud unravelled quickly. Kulhari received a bank alert during her journey detailing a $2,525 transaction to Aeromexico Airlines.
She immediately contacted her bank's customer care. Bank officials checked her account details and found that four separate unauthorised transactions had been processed.
The bank blocked the credit card immediately to prevent further misuse.
Digital theft suspected
Preliminary investigations show Kulhari did not reveal her card PIN or banking details to anyone.
Investigators suspect digital theft, believing criminals stole her card details technically through her mobile phone, online account or other digital networks. Direct physical access to the card appears unlikely.
Amboli police and cyber experts are analysing her banking history, tracking transactions and digital trails to identify the perpetrators.
