Hrithik records statement in e-mail exchange case

Accordingly, on May 23, 2016, police had registered a case against unidentified persons under IPC section 419 (impersonation) and Sections 66C and D of the IT Act.

Pursuant to the filing of the case, the two actors had sent legal notices to each other, seeking an apology.
