Malayalam-Tamil actor Shamna Kasim, also known as Poorna, was in the news after she made a complaint against a gang of impostors who attempted to extort money from her and her family. On June 30, she issued a statement on social media, to clarify certain rumours and requested the media to give her and her family some privacy.

Shamna, in her statement, revealed that she has come across a few reports which suggested that she knew the culprits personally.

Thanking fans for their support, she wrote, “Thank you for the wonderful support my dear friends and well-wishers during this ordeal. I just would like to clarify on few unreal reports in few media relating my case. I do not know the culprit and gang who are part of this blackmailing saga hence I am pleading to all my media friends not to propagate such fake news linking me with the culprit (sic).”

She requested everyone to give her and her family privacy until the police are done with the investigation. Shamna said that she’ll hold a press meet after the case is closed.

Shamna Kasim wrapped up her statement stating that women should learn a lesson from her story in fighting the fraudsters.
