Kavita Kaushik, who plays a cop in the TV show FIR, got a shock of her life when she got to know that money was stolen from her bank account. “I got an sms on my cell that said that money was spent on shopping on a website. It was around one lakh rupees,“ says Kavita, who has lodged an FIR about the incident. “It's ironic since I play a cop myself. The police were co-operative and told me that my card might have been cloned while I was on a trip abroad. I'm guessing that's the case as the money was spent on some website in Poland,“ says Kavita.

Kavita Kaushik recently became the victim of debit card fraud. The actress was holidaying in Thailand with her friends when she got to know that someone had cloned her card and was drawing money from her account. Says a source, “The actress used her debit card for shopping and someone seems to have cloned her card and shopped for almost a lakh using money from her account.”
The source adds that Kavita was in Thailand for a holiday with her friends and it was a shocker for all of them. “This is really scary. She got to know about this when she received messages about money being debited from her account. She has lodged a police complaint,” says a source close to the FIR actress.
Kavita confirmed the story. “I am usually very careful about all these things, but I guess what is meant to happen will anyway happen. Turns out that this is all part of a big scam. I have lodged a police complaint now. All of us need to be really cautious while using our cards,” she said.
