Farhan Akhtar’s Mother Becomes Victim of Fraud Worth Several Lakhs

Farhan Akhtar: Popular filmmaker and actor Farhan Akhtar is often in the news for his personal life, but this time the news is related to his family. A case of fraud involving his mother and renowned author Honey Irani has surfaced, amounting to ₹1.2 million. Mumbai Police have registered an FIR against Honey Irani's driver and a petrol pump employee in Bandra.

Farhan Akhtar's mother, Honey Irani, has been defrauded

According to police, the accused driver, Naresh Singh (35), is accused of using a credit card issued in Farhan Akhtar's name to fill his vehicles with petrol. Investigation revealed that the driver would swipe the card at the petrol pump, but instead of filling the vehicle with petrol, the petrol pump employee, Arun Singh, would give him cash. Both would then take their share of the money.

Farhan Akhtar's manager filed a case.

Farhan Akhtar's manager, Diya Bhatia (36), filed a complaint with the Bandra police on October 1. She alleged that the driver and pump attendant conspired to defraud her of approximately 1.2 million rupees. Investigation revealed that the car she filled with petrol had a capacity of 35 liters, but her account showed 62 liters of diesel. When Bhatia questioned Naresh Singh, he gave unsatisfactory answers, claiming he used only one card for petrol and diesel. Later, an investigation revealed that he had used three cards issued in Farhan Akhtar's name.

According to the FIR filed with the police, Naresh Singh admitted to receiving all three cards from Farhan Akhtar's former driver, Santosh Kumar, in 2022. He allegedly frequented the SV Road petrol pump near Bandra Lake and swiped the cards without refueling. The petrol pump employee, Arun Singh, 52, allegedly gave him cash after keeping a cut of ₹1,000 to ₹1,500 per transaction.

Naresh Singh committed fraud of about Rs 12 lakh (Farhan Akhtar mother driver accused)

During a scheduled meeting with Farhan Akhtar's manager, Dia Bhatia, Naresh Singh confessed to defrauding Irani and revealed the modus operandi.
