A new twist in Hirthik Roshan, Kangana Ranaut email spat

There seems to be a big development in the Hirthik Roshan-Kangana Ranaut’s long-standing feud. After reports that investigation into the email saga had been closed, Hrithik’s legal team has rejected the claims outright.

“Media reports, which suggest that the investigation into the Hrithik-Kangana emails is closed, are totally false,” said Gunjan Mangla from Hrithik’s team. “A section of the media in connivance with Ms Ranaut’s lawyer has sought to disseminate this false information. The investigation, in fact, continues. Mr Saxena (Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime) has informed Mr Mahesh Jethmalani, Senior Counsel who has been advising Mr Roshan that the investigation is still going on. It is categorically asserted that there is unimpeachable evidence to suggest that there was no relationship of any kind between Mr Roshan and Ms Ranaut and that Ms Ranaut persistently hounded Mr Roshan on emails with the intention to entice him into a relationship.”

On the other hand, Kangana’s lawyer Rizwan Siddique has refuted Hrithik’s legal team’s arguments as baseless. In a statement, Rizwan explained that Joint Commissioner of Police and the department were unable to find anything on the mail ID purportedly belonging to Hrithik, as the server is in the US. He adds, “The department has also now claimed they’re trying to conclude the case with the given evidence, without being able to answer questions of whether or not there really was an imposter. And if there was an imposter, who was it?”

Rizwan went on to say that if the police are saying they can’t do much further, both parties ought to accept the decision. However, he also said, “I would like to categorically state that my client has always claimed and maintained that there is no imposter and that her email ID was hacked by Mr Hrithik Roshan multiple times during the seven months which Mr. Roshan took to file a belated and misleading police complaint. A lot can be implied from these acts.”

On being contacted, a tight-lipped Rakesh Roshan said, “Our lawyers have already responded to the media. Please look into it for all your queries.”
