Bhupathi,
who
directed
Telugu
film
RX

starring
Kartikeya
Gummakonda
and
Payal
Rajput
in
the
lead
role,
filed
a
cyber
crime
case
against
a
fraudster
who
used
his
name
to
dupe
aspiring
actresses.
Confirming
the
same
on
Facebook,
Ajay
Bhupathi
shared
a
post
which
states,
"Hello,
I
filed
a
Cyber
Crime
case
against
a
fraudster
(7995267901)
using
my
name
to
trap
women
in
the
name
of

Calls.
The
official
announcements
of
my
films
will
be

on
Trusted

Stay
cautious
&

happening

@CyberCrimeshyd."
Explaining
how
he
got
to
know
about
the
case,
Ajay
Bhupathi
stated,
"I
have
got
to
know
that
many
people
are
creating
fake
profiles
on
social
media
with
my
name
to
exploit
girls.
Earlier,
I
settled
the
similar
issue
regarding
a
message
to
a
girl
from
a
profile
in
my
name,
where
my
team
disclosed
it
with
proper
advice
on
fake
profiles."
"But
it
didn't
settle
there,
there
are
few
more
girls
who
were
facing
the
same
situation
&
that
too
from
the
same
number," he
added.
Speaking
about
taking
an
action
against
the
fraudster,
Ajay
Bhupathi
said,
"Responding
to
the
same,
we
took
it
seriously
&
went
on
to
file
a
case
in
Cyber
Crime.
We
expect
many
more
innocent
trapped
in
the
same
scenario.
So,
we
request
everyone
to
stay
cautious
&
be
aware
of
such
fraudsters
ahead."
According
to
a
Times
of
India
report,
Cyber
Crime
police
have
registered
a
complaint.
The
report
further
states
that
the
fraudster
not
only
pretends
to
be
Ajay
Bhupathi
but
also
Vijay
Deverakonda.
After
investigation,
police
found
out
that
the
person
would
post
online
casting
calls
and
ask
women
to
send
their
photos,
personal
details
and
money.
According
to
The
News
Minute,
KVM
Prasad,
the
Assistant
Commissioner
of
Police
for
Hyderabad
Cyber
Crime
division
told,
"The
accused
asked
some
of
these
women
to
send
nude
pictures
over
WhatsApp.
The
intention
is
to
blackmail
and
exploit
these
women
once
they
send
these
pictures."
He
further
added
that
no
money
was
exchanged
between
the
accused,
who
is
suspected
to
be
an
Andhra
Pradesh
native
and
the
victims.
Police
are
yet
to
arrest
the
accused.
