Reportedly, the imposter hacked into Kareena’s account in August only and went ahead to file income tax return for 2015-2016. When her CA started to file for the return later, he was informed that someone had already done that. It was then that CA Thakkar took the action of complaining to the cyber police.
The police will reportedly first find from where the the person accessed the government website. They will also find if someone close to the actress leaked important details to anyone during the investigation.
