The Bandra-Kurla Complex police on Saturday filed an FIR against Siddhesh Ghosalkar, the son of a retired ACP, Sunil Ghosalkar, for allegedly creating a fake account on a social networking site and impersonating cricketer Virat Kohli, besides other charges. Siddhesh allegedly used this account to tag and defame a Khar event licensing company, accusing it of being fraudulent and cheating many clients. ACP Ghosalkar vehemently denied these allegations and stated that if his son`s IP address is found to be involved in the investigation, he would not hesitate to have him arrested. ACP Ghosalkar also claimed that the company had taken his retirement money for business purposes but failed to return it and the owner was hence levelling the allegations.
The complainant in the case is Chanchal Singh, 33, who runs Sparsh Liaison Services LLP, located at Khar West. According to police officers, Singh has cordial relations with ACP Ghosalkar due to her brother, Indrajeet`s, association with him. In 2020, the retired ACP asked Singh to train his son Siddhesh, who had recently completed his Bachelor of Business Administration degree and was seeking a job. Due to their relations, the company took on training Siddhesh.
