Akshay Kumar daughter's case: Maharashtra Cyber department makes arrest in cyber harassment case

Maharashtra Cyber department arrests suspect in sextortion case involving Akshay Kumar's daughter Nitara. Police stress cyber awareness.

"My daughter, she switched off the whole thing. She went and told my wife. - Akshay Kumar"

Mumbai, April 24

The Maharashtra Cyber department has made the arrest in the cyber harassment case pertaining to Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's daughter, Nitara Kumar.

Yashasvi Yadav, Additional Director General of Police, Maharashtra Cyber department, said that they have made the arrest in the case. Akshay Kumar's daughter was asked for nude photos. She got a message while playing an online game.

The Maharashtra Cyber Department also organized a special session for cyber awareness at R.D. National College in the city. The session alerted students about the dangers of the digital world and made them aware of safe digital practices. The session covered measures to prevent online financial frauds, security on social media, phishing attacks and cyber bullying.

During the event, Yashasvi Yadav said, "He (Akshay Kumar) had a very shocking story to share with us. He said that his own daughter was being sextorted. The girl was very brave and informed her parents. Through her parents, we received this information, and that is how we handled the case. I would like to draw your attention to that (sic)".

He then went on to play an old clip of Akshay Kumar in which the superstar narrated the incident. Back in October 2025, the Bollywood superstar spoke about the distressing experience.

He said, "I would like to share a small incident with you, which happened at my home a few months ago. My daughter was playing a video game.There are some video games that you can play with someone, you are playing with an unknown stranger. When you are playing, you get a message saying, 'Thank you, that was great' or 'You are doing so good', very courteous messages. Suddenly, the person said, 'Where are you from?' She wrote, 'Mumbai'. And then everything was normal again. The person told her, 'Well played. You did very well'. Very courteous, it felt respectful".

He further mentioned, "Then a message came, 'Are you male or female?' She replied, 'Female'. It went on. And then, he sent a message, 'Can you send me a nude picture of yours?' My daughter, she switched off the whole thing. She went and told my wife. It was great that she went and spoke to my wife about it. This is how things begin. This is also a part of cybercrime. People and children get carried away. Extortion money has to be given. There are many cases of suicides. In the digital world, it is very important that our children learn about this".

He had requested CM Devendra Fadnavis to organise cyber crime classes in schools.

Kudos to Nitara for immediately telling her parents! So many children hide these things out of fear or shame. Akshay Kumar and his wife handled it perfectly by reporting it. This should be a wake-up call for all Indian parents to have open conversations with their kids about online safety. My own daughter is 12 and we've started these talks because of incidents like this. 💪

While the arrest is welcome, I'm skeptical about how effective the Cyber department really is. They hold these awareness sessions but how many cases actually lead to convictions? We need stronger laws and faster investigation mechanisms. Also, why does it take a celebrity's case to get such attention? Common people face this daily with little help. Just saying. 🤔

This is terrifying! My son plays online games all the time. I never thought predators could target kids through gaming platforms like this. Thank God Nitara was brave enough to speak up. I'm going to have a serious chat with my kids tonight. And hats off to the Cyber department for organizing that college session - awareness is the first step. 🙏

Can we appreciate how Akshay Kumar used his platform to highlight this issue? Instead of hiding it, he approached the CM and pushed for cyber crime classes in schools. That's real social responsibility. Every celebrity should use their influence for such causes. Now let's see the government actually implement those classes properly. 💯

As a father of two teenage girls, this story gives me chills. The grooming process described - starts with compliments, then casual questions, then demands for photos - it's exactly
