Evelyn Sharma files complaint against a website in Lucknow's Cyber Crime Cell

We all know that the people of Lucknow are known for their etiquettes (tehzeeb). But Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actress and fashionista Evelyn Sharma’s experience with a locally run website from the city has been quite different. Following constant harassment through falsities in articles on a website, the actress has filed a complaint with nodal officer and head of Cyber Crime Cell of Lucknow Police, Uttar Pradesh, Mr Dinesh Yadav. The said website, run by Lucknow-based Gagan Deep Mishra alias Akash Deep Mishra had put up various articles on Evelyn attacking her with false statements within a span of a week. They incorrectly claimed that the actress has undergone plastic surgery, was part of a film titled Joker as well as put up a false age on the pretext of picking content from Wikipedia and IMDB without verification. Moreover, the website often ‘tagged’ the actress on her Twitter account in the web links of these articles containing the fabricated information in an apparent attempt to intimidate the actress on social media. Requests for corrections from Evelyn’s end were ignored by the website even after a complaint was filed with the cyber cops on behalf of the actress. Since Evelyn is a resident of Mumbai, the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell (CCIC) in Mumbai has also been informed.
