The Cyber Cell of Mumbai`s Oshiwara Police Station successfully recovered Rs 98,000 that was fraudulently siphoned off from film actor Gajendra Chauhan (69), best known for his portrayal of “Yudhishthira” in the iconic television serial Mahabharat.

According to Oshiwara Police sources, Chauhan, who resides in Lokhandwala, Oshiwara, Andheri West, came across a Facebook advertisement on December 10, 2025, claiming to offer dry fruits at heavily discounted rates under the D-Mart brand. After clicking on the “order” option, he received an OTP on his mobile phone. Soon after entering the OTP, he received a bank alert stating that Rs 98,000 had been debited from his account.
