An Indian criminal group has used the stolen personal information of K-pop girl band Miss A’s Suzy.

Indian media outlets reported Wednesday that police found a bankbook with Suzy’s photo while confiscating the belongings of a group of suspected criminals. The woman who used Suzy’s picture told police she created a bank account after downloading the picture from the Internet.

“We think this happened because pictures of Suzy can be easily found on the Internet as a well-known celebrity,” Suzy’s agency, JYP Entertainment, said Thursday. “We are trying to get further details as this happened in India.”
