A youth named Intakhawab Alam, a resident of Rehmatnagar in Rander, was arrested by ATS officials after conducting a raid yesterday. He was later produced before a local court, which remanded him to four days police custody, ATS sources said today.
Alam had created a website under the name of Bollywood actor Salman Khan and used to send messages to fans and asked for their comments and opinions on articles written on the site.
''To make his website look realistic, he created a separate web-page 'I love my fans. This is my mobile number'. He even talked with his fans on the phone to impress them. To collect money, he created a fake charitable trust and pasted ads on the website, '' G L Singhal, DGP of ATS Gandhinagar, said.
He said one woman from London donated Rs 1.5 lakh to his trust through internet and added that his uncle Zakirullah Sheikh was allegedly involved in planting of bombs in Surat in July 2008.
A case has been registered against Alam under section 66 B and C of Information Act.
