The Hrithik-Kangana row intensified today with the actress questioning why the police was selectively calling witnesses and the actor asking her to cooperate in “everyone’s interest” so that the truth can come out.

In a letter to the cyber crime cell of Mumbai police, Kangana alleged that police personnel were giving “false and misleading statements” to the media. “I have, in my letter to the DCP, questioned the police on various aspects... the first thing that I have asked them is that when Hrithik Roshan, in his complaint made to the Police in December 2014, claims to have gained knowledge of an imposter from many people including his fans and people from the film industry, then why has no one has been questioned till now in the said matter,” Kangana’s lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee said in a statement.

“This could mean only one thing — either Hrithik Roshan publicly lied about various people giving him information about an imposter or the police did not do their job diligently as was required under Section 154 of CRPC, and close the matter by filing an appropriate report in time,” he said.

When contacted, Hrithik’s lawyers said, “It’s in everyone’s best interest to cooperate with police, so the true facts come out. What is true and what is false has to be decided by police and the courts and not the media. As a law-abiding citizen, Kangana should cooperate with authorities like Hrithik is doing.”

Kangana’s lawyer also claimed the police is yet provide them a certified FIR copy as per the law.

“I have in my letter to the DCP also made a complaint against anonymous police source who is giving false and misleading statements to the press. Recently there have been media reports that my client has been called upon to hand over her laptop. I am shocked by these reports as my client has never given any statement that she ever used her laptop to communicate with any alleged imposter, therefore where are these reports coming from ” Siddiquee said.
