BPO employee held for cloning Radhika Pandit's SIM card

July 29, 2013

Radhika_PanditBangalore, Jul 29: City police claim to have got the better of a call centre employee who allegedly cloned the SIM card of Kannada actress Radhika Pandit and sent unsolicited text messages to numbers found in her contacts list.

Abhishek, 20, allegedly created a parallel SIM card of Pandit’s number with the help of a woman who works with a mobile service provider. He allegedly convinced her to get him a cloned SIM card of the actress’ number. He then sent text messages to numbers in the SIM memory, police said.

Investigators looking into Pandit’s complaint consulted mobile phone experts and found that the text messages were sent from a parallel number. The cloned SIM card was traced to Kolar, and to the suspect, Abhishek, who works in Whitefield.

Pandit had filed a complaint at Subramanya Nagar police station on Friday, saying that a few unsolicited SMSs were sent from her phone number to the contacts stored in her phone book, without her knowledge.

Subramanya Nagar police have registered a case of cheating against Abhishek under Section 420 of the IPC. They are questioning the woman who allegedly helped him procure the card.

New Delhi, Jun 6: Actor Ayushmann Khurrana took the internet by storm as he posted a picture of himself in the dark 'Joker' avatar on Saturday.

Artist Swapnil Pawar transformed Khurrana into the 'Joker' through his artwork which the actor posted on his Instagram.

"Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it ... I'm an Agent of Chaos!" Khurrana quoted a famous dialogue from the film 'Joker' in the caption.

The 35-year-old actor, who hasn't played an outright negative role in his career further revealed his fascination for negative characters in the caption.

"Sinister, menacing, evil, cold, conniving yet brilliant, genius - have always thought of playing a negative character like Joker. Thank you @swapnilmpawar for reading my mind and this incredible artwork!" he wrote.

Khurrana believes that though it is good to portray different roles and he would love to play a negative character but the message at the end should be positive.

"I will be happy to play a negative character. I would love to play a morally corrupt person. That will be out of my realm. But the message, at the end of the day, should be positive. I don't want to endorse wrongdoings on screen," he said.

The new look of the 'Article 15' actor won hearts as the post was flooded with scores of comments from his fans.
