The police here have registered a case of stalking against Bollywood actor Salman Khan's "relative", following a complaint lodged by the actor's health consultant.
"We have registered a case against Abdullah Khan for continuously trying to contact the complainant through social networking sites and hacking her Facebook and Instragram accounts," said an official from Oshiwara police station in suburban Mumbai.
The FIR described Abdullah Khan as Salman Khan's "relative".
The complainant told police that Abdullah had proposed a marriage to her, but she declined.
