They will have to produce the donation receipts in court on Thursday, when the matter is taken up for hearing.The case goes back to January 2014, when Andheri resident Sheela Purohit, who works in a family-owned private consultancy firm, started receiving "vulgar" messages on her cellphone purportedly from a popular real estate website. The messages stopped for a while after a complaint was lodged. However, she started receiving phone calls from strangers, who claimed to have got her phone number from an adult website. Subsequently, her relatives started receiving messages making allegations of her being involved in an extramarital relationship.
