Akshara Haasan's ex-boyfriend Tanuj Virwani is likely to be interrogated by the Versova Police in connection with the circulation of the actress' private pictures on social media.
Akshara Haasan was in a relationship with Tanuj Virmani, who is the son of Bollywood actress Rati Agnihotri and had apparently shared her private photos with him in 2013. They parted ways in 2016.
According to Indian Express, yesterday, on November 16, Tanuj Virwani's spokesperson issued a statement saying that the actor was not involved in the online leak of private pictures of actress Akshara.
A Mumbai Mirror report stated that Akshara had shared some private images with Tanuj when they were dating, because of which he could be called in for questioning.
Tanuj's spokesperson told the Indian Express: "Tanuj is aware of what Akshara must be going through and said the incident is regrettable. We are more than happy to cooperate with the police or with any investigation, so as the culprit gets punished and gets caught. Tanuj is going to give it his all and whatever is needed of him."
A senior officer who was investigating the entire matter said, "Akshara was using an iPhone 6 till 2013, which had the photos. Prima facie investigation has revealed the photos were shared with Tanuj in 2013. He may be summoned for questioning."
