A bizarre incident has come into limelight after a Mumbai resident, working as a clerical staffer in an educational institution, had to block as many as 150 callers to protect himself from abuses coming his way. That was because his mobile number closely resembles that of actor Rhea Chakraborty.
Going by the reports of Mumbai Mirror, Sagar Surve’s mobile number differs from that of Rhea’s by just one digit. He has been receiving messages of harassment and abuse for close to a week, which led to him blocking as many as 150 callers and later switching off his phone.
Surve said when the first calls came, “asking for Rhea”, he dismissed them as ‘wrong numbers’. It didn’t even occur to him that they were asking for the actress. But within a day, the frequency of the calls grew, with some callers turning abusive. “I started receiving messages, on WhatsApp. People asked me to send them a photograph of myself when I told them that they were mistaken. I tried to ignore the calls, but it only worsened over the next three days,” said Surve.

Meanwhile, Rhea Chakraborty told Supreme Court on Tuesday that there appears to be considerable amount of state interference, influence, and therefore an apprehension of bias in the probe conducted by Bihar Police. She added that the FIR lodged against her in Sushant’s death case in the state has no connection with any offence in Patna.
