An FIR has been registered against Bollywood actor-director Farhan Akhtar and actor Ranbir Kapoor by a lawyer Rajat Bansal, a resident of Keshav Nagar, Lucknow. The FIR has been registered for criminal breach of trust (IPC Section 406) and forgery (420) for promoting an online shopping site, askmebazaar.com from which the lawyer had ordered a 40-inch LED TV from the site on August 23 and had paid Rs 29,999 for the same through his debit card, but he did not get the product within 10 days, as promised. Bansal also alleged that due to promotions by stars like Farhan and Ranbir, people tend to fall in the trap of the website which sent him the bill but not the product.
Police is probing the matter and FIR under the same sections has been lodged against directors of online portal – Sanjiv Gupta, Anand Sonbhadra, PiyushPankaj, Kiran Kumar Sriniwas Murti and marketing officer Puja Goyal.
