Posted on 20. Sep, 2009 by Turbo in Entertainment
Anoushka Shankar’s email hacker was found to be one Delhi-based businessman named Junaid according to Delhi police.
Juanid reportedly hacked the sitar maestro Pt. Ravi Shankar’s daughter, Anoushka Shankar’s personal e-mail account and accessed her personal pictures. Since then, the 29-year-old hacker started blackmailing the celebrity of dire consequences and that he would the pictures to public if she was not shelling $100,000 for the same.
Police arrested the man on September 15 under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 386 and is under police interrogation now. If Junaid is proven guilty, imprisonment for a maximum of 10 years is possible.
It should be noted that Pt. Ravi Shankar lodged complaint with the Delhi police in August on Anoushka Shankar being harassed by her email hacker.
Anoushka Ravi Shankar, must be a much relieved person now and she will be gearing up to perform in the World Festival by the KCRW. She will perform with Malkit Singh the Bhangra exponent at the Hollywood Bowl soon.
