Using the names of Bollywood actors Athiya Shetty and Arshad Warsi, an alleged financial fraud worth Rs 1.41 crore has come to light. The Amboli police have booked three individuals for allegedly siphoning off funds from Hari Media Network Private Limited. The accused have been identified as Rishbh Sureka (former senior manager), Yash Nagarkoti (CEO of Hooray Movies), and Ashay Shastri, who allegedly forged the signature of Suniel Shetty’s daughter and also created a fake email ID in actor Arshad Warsi’s name to commit the crime.
Hari Media Network, an agency providing advertising and marketing services, has its head office in Haryana and a branch in Andheri West, Mumbai. Sureka joined the agency in July 2023 and was authorised to handle influencer branding, project coordination, and communications with the finance team and the CEO.
