Shamna Kasim asks not to propagate fake news

A complaint was lodged a week ago by Shamna Kasim’s family against a gang, who attempted to extort money from the actress and a few accused were arrested by the police.

Shamna Kasim

has recently penned a note thanking her friends and well-wishers for supporting her and also requested media to stop propagating fake news.

“Thank you for the wonderful support my dear friends and well wishers during this ordeal. I just would like to clarify on few unreal reports in few media relating to my case. I do not know the culprit and gang who are part of this blackmailing saga hence I am pleading to all my media friends not to propagate such fake news linking me with the culprit,” Shamna wrote.

Shamna also added that her family decided to lodge a complaint because they were cheated with fake identities. “My family had decided to lodge a complaint because we had been cheated with fake names, fake addresses, deceitful identities with a marriage proposal that completely misled us. This eventually led to blackmail for which we decided to approach the police for legal action. We never knew and still don't know what their intentions were or are,” Shamna added.

The actress also added that the police is doing an ‘excellent job’ and has asked media to not infringe the privacy of her or her family, until the investigation is completed. “Currently, the Kerala police are doing an excellent job after my complaint and they have nabbed all the culprits, therefore I am requesting all my media friends not to infringe on my family's and my personal privacy rights until the investigation is over. I have complete faith and trust in our criminal justice system. I will definitely meet the media once the case is resolved. Once again, I am thanking all my dear friends and well wisher for giving me great support and peace at the most difficult time of my life, and I am hoping that through my case, my fellow sisters out there will be a little vigilant in fighting off these fraudsters. Love, Shamna Kasim (Poorna),” penned Shamna concluding the note.
