A woman entered the house of Bollywood star Aditya Roy Kapur on false pretext on Monday evening and has since been arrested by police in Mumbai. She arrived at the house in the city's posh Bandra area, claiming that she was there to deliver some clothes and gifts and had a scheduled meeting with the actor, after which the house help allowed her inside the house. When Kapur reached home, he made it clear that he did not know the woman. However, she then tried to approach the 39-year-old actor but was stopped by his staff. Following this, Kapur's house staff called the cops, and the woman was detained. A complaint has been filed at the Khar Police Station.

Police have identified the woman as 47-year-old Gajala Zakaria Siddiqui. She is a resident of Dubai in United Arab Emirates (UAE). She reportedly told the police she was a fan of Kapur's and wanted to stay with him. "We have arrested the woman after registering an offence against her under section 331(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for trespassing and are investigating further," a police officer said, according to a report by Hindustan Times.
