My client has a good criminal case against Hrithik: Kangana's lawyer

Mumbai: On Thursday, a report in a Mumbai tabloid stated that Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut case was likely to be closed due lack of evidence to indicate who had written the amorous mail to Kangana posing as Hrithik Roshan.

Kangana’s lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee called the Mumbai Police’s decision to shut the case as a sign of victory saying that he is not surprised by the Cyber Cell submitting a NIL report in the case post their investigation.

“This means that they could not trace any imposter as was claimed by Hrithik Roshan. Kangana has always been maintaining that there was no imposter ever”, Rizwan was quoted by a daily.

Soon after, Hrithik's team hit back by slamming the reports and saying that the investigation into Hrithik and Kangana’s emails has not been shut. The team has also said that case is not only in motion but a section of the media was in partnership with Kangana’s lawyer to mislead people with false information regarding the case.

“Media reports which suggest that the investigation into the Hrithik - Kangana emails is closed, are totally false. A section of the media in connivance with Ms. Ranaut's lawyer have sought to disseminate this false information. The investigation in fact continues and Mr. Saxena (Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime) has informed Mr. Mahesh Jethmalani, Senior Counsel advising Mr. Roshan that "the case is not yet closed. Investigation is still going on," Hrithik's spokesperson said in a statement.

Now, Kangana's lawyer, advocate Rizwan Siddiquee has released a new statement where he slammed Hrithik and his team for their "baseless and ridiculous claims that we are spreading false information to the media."

The statement from Kangana's lawyer reads, "The Joint Commissioner of Police has clearly mentioned that his Department has been unable to find anything on the mail ID as the server is located in US. He has also in clear words stated that it is very difficult to ascertain who was using the account. The Department now claims that it is trying to conclude the case from the available evidence. In clear words the department has thus communicated to the world what to expect from the investigation, and have also spelt out their difficulty in answering the most important question i.e. “Is there really an Imposter. If yes, who is the imposter?

It is therefore obvious that given the situation, Mr. Hrithik Roshan and his team are once again desperately trying to salvage the situation, and in frustration are now making absolutely baseless and ridiculous claims that we are spreading false information to the media, with regards to the findings of the police. Mr. Hrithik Roshan and his team of forensic experts and lawyers are directly dealing with the police on the subject matter, yet if the police are communicating their helplessness in the said matter, the said decision needs to accepted by the parties concerned.

Now without prejudice to the above we would like to state that Mr. Hrithik Roshan had lied to the Police even at the first instance, as much as he had blatantly lied not knowing my client socially. He also cannot deny the fact that he had failed to file any police complaint at the right time against any imposter for reasons, which are now apparent.

I would like to categorically state that my client has always claimed and maintained that there is no imposter and that her email id was hacked by Mr. Hrithik Roshan multiple times during the 7 months which Mr. Roshan took to file a belated and misleading police complaint. A lot can be implied from these acts.

As a matter of fact my client has a good criminal case against Mr. Roshan not only for hacking her email id but for also having circulated her private pictures to the media."
