Bengaluru-based CureFit operates its chain of fitness centres under the brand Cult.Fit. Following the complaint, a case under IPC sections 420 (cheating) and 406 (criminal breach of trust) was registered against the actor, being the firm’s brand ambassador and three senior officials of the company, Inspector S Laxmi Narayana said. “The customer in question has behaved inappropriately and violently with our staff against whom we were constrained to take action. “The current police complaint appears to have been hence filed subsequently against us falsely, while also mischievously dragging our celebrity brand ambassador, Hrithik Roshan, wrongly in it,” it said. The statement said it is a responsible company conscious of the health and safety requirements of both customers as well as its staff.
