In a statement issued by advocate Siddique, he said, “The police was called to visit the residence of my client to record her statement at 4 pm today. However, because of traffic issues the team dropped by at 4.45 pm.” The statements were recorded between 5 pm and 8 pm.

A few days ago, there was similar talk of a team of cyber crime officials visiting Kangana’s place to record her statement; however, they turned out to be rumours. Hrithik’s lawyer demanded that Kangana record her statement rather than giving explanations to the media.

Meanwhile, police officials say they will seek all necessary information from both actors to verify the claims and counter claims. The cyber crime cell, which is probing complaints filed by both actors, is still waiting to get information from the US-based service provider on whether the email ID did belong to Hrithik or not. All along, Hrithik has been denying sending emails to Kangana.
Kangana Ranaut arrives home in time to record her statement.
The actor has claimed that an impostor had been sending emails to Kangana on his behalf from the email id. The email id from which Kangana got the emails was hroshan@email.com.
Mr Siddique further added, “The police were extremely happy to get more information from my clients and learn new things which were not mentioned by the complainant in his FIR. Going forward, a lot of things will unfold and even the aim and object why Hrithik was circulating a private report to the media would become clear. Also why did he not name my client in his earlier complaint and lied initially would also become clear. Even the reasons for delay in lodging the FIR by Hrithik has become more clear now.”
