'Pandya Store' actress Kruttika Desai says conmen who tried to harass her have been arrested

Actress Kruttika Desai recently said that the conmen who tried to harass her a few days back are now arrested.

For the unawares, a few days back, Kruttika had shared a video and revealed she was harassed by a few men, when she was heading home from the sets of her show 'Pandya Store'. She had also lodged a police complaint.

In an interview with ETimes, Kruttika said the two men have been caught and she was called by the cops to identify them.

"When I went to the police station last time to report this, they took the details from me and said they would work on it. Yesterday, I got a call from Dindoshi police that they had caught the two men and wanted me to visit the police station. But as I was shooting, I couldn't go immediately. So PSI Anmol Kamble was sent on the sets to file the FIR and I signed it. After that, in the evening, I went to the station to identify both the conmen. I am glad that they are caught."

The actress said that after she identified them, they apologised and said they won't trouble her again.

"I feel relieved that they have been caught. Also, I think now people will be more alert and stay safe," she added.

On June 9, Kruttika shared a video of the men trying to con her. "Unbelievable! I packed up from shoot and was on my way home when 3 guys came on bikes and stopped my car. They said they wanted to search my car for drugs. I asked who they were and for an ID. He shows me some stupid yellow card and then asks me to let him smell my hand!!! That’s when I asked him to call a lady constable. Then I started filming and you can see the rest," she captioned the video.

"In broad daylight, at Goregaon, between Filmcity and Gokuldham, this is what conmen do! Obviously they scare people to extract money. When they realised I would create a scene, they left. Will go tomorrow to the police station and complain. Beware actors, and also others as I’m sure they will be trying this at other places," the actress added.

Kruttika became famous after playing the role of Mangala in 'Buniyaad' and went on to play Vishkanya in 'Chandrakanta'. She also starred in many other serials including 'Dekh Bhai Dekh', 'Betaal Pachisi', 'Kumkum – Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan', 'Tumhari Disha', 'Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki', 'Uttaran' and 'Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki' among many others.

She also featured in films like 'Insaaf', 'Dastak', 'Dattak The Adopted', 'Turn Left at the End of the World' and 'Section 375'.
