Abhishek Kumar warns fans about scam using his name: "Iss baar usko hum chodenge nahi.."

Abhishek Kumar, a contestant on Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, has raised an urgent alert to his fans about a troubling scam involving his name. Using his official social media platform, Kumar has brought to light the deceptive activities of an individual named Shivam Saini, who has been impersonating him. The actor's announcement reveals his distress over this fraudulent scheme, where Saini has been contacting Kumar's acquaintances, soliciting money under the pretence of being the actor.

Taking to his Instagram story, Abhishek shares a video detailing the scam. Clearly shaken by the situation, he explains, "There is a person named Shivam Saini who seems to have information about my personal life—my activities, whereabouts, and even my current engagements. This individual has been calling and texting my contacts, pretending to be me. He asks for Rs 10,000, claiming that his Google Pay is malfunctioning, and promises to repay the amount the following day."

Kumar elaborates that he had previously filed a police complaint against this scammer, which initially halted the deceitful actions, but unfortunately, the fraudulent behaviour has resumed. He urges his followers to be cautious and not fall for such schemes if contacted by this individual using his name.

To combat the ongoing scam, Abhishek has once again turned to the legal system. He has lodged a renewed police complaint, and his father has also filed a report against the perpetrator. Kumar emphasizes, "Iss baar usko hum chodenge nahi" (This time, we will not let this go.) Alongside his video message, he includes the scammer's phone number to help others avoid falling victim to the fraud.

Abhishek Kumar, widely recognized for his role in the TV series Udaariyaan, gained considerable fame through his participation in Bigg Boss 17, where he finished as the first runner-up. He is now capturing audiences' hearts with his performances on Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, hosted by Rohit Shetty. 

In his Instagram story, Kumar highlights his efforts to tackle and resolve the scam issue. By taking a proactive stance and issuing public warnings, Abhishek is dedicated to safeguarding his fans from deceit and ensuring that such fraudulent schemes are addressed effectively.
