Actor Raza Murad files police complaint over death hoax, calls it shameful

Actor Raza Murad has filed a police complaint after a false social media post declared him dead. The veteran revealed that the death hoax caused widespread distress among his family, friends, and fans.

Expressing disappointment over the misinformation, the 73-year-old actor clarified that he is alive. Murad, while speaking to ANI, said, "There are some people who, for reasons I don't understand, seem bothered by my existence. They posted about my death and even offered condolences. They wrote that I had worked for many years, but now no one is there to remember me. They even mentioned my birthday and a fake date of death in that post. This is a very serious matter."

He added, "My throat, tongue, and lips have dried up from telling people that I am alive. This false news has spread everywhere. I am getting calls and



messages from across the world. People are even sending me copies of the post."

While expressing his anger over the fake news, the actor further said, "Whoever has done this must have a very bad mentality. He appears to be a very small person, someone who has never accomplished anything significant in his life. That is why he enjoys doing such cheap things."

Murad mentioned that the police was taking his complaint seriously. "They have accepted my complaint and are filing an FIR. They assured me that they will get to the bottom of this and catch the person responsible. Legal action will be taken against him," he went on.

"This should stop now. It is not only about me. Celebrities are often declared dead while they are still alive. This is wrong, and whoever does this should be punished," the veteran added.
