Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan has filed a complaint with the cyber cell of the Mumbai police alleging that the online account used for filing her income tax (I-T) returns has been hacked.

Sources in the cyber cell said that the complaint was filed on Friday, and revealed that the hacker had even paid Ms Kapoor’s quarterly I-T amount.

“Kapoor’s chartered accountant approached us alleging that the account his client used for filing her income returns was hacked,” said a source. He added that the hacker might have gained knowledge of the actor’s PAN number and used the same to hack into her account, which can be accessed through the I-T department’s website. “The hacker has also changed the password of her e-filing account,” the source said.

“The hacker can now access her PAN number, the amount of tax paid over the years and also file a statement regarding her income and falsely inflate it, forcing her to pay more taxes,” the source added.
