Simran Bhogal, the catfisher behind Netflix’s ‘Sweet Bobby,’ has managed to completely scrub herself from the internet

Business Insider could not find Bhogal’s current Facebook or LinkedIn accounts, if they indeed still exist. Assi has also hidden her friends list on Facebook and has hidden or deleted all of her posts from 2009 to 2018.

In the documentary, Assi said that Bhogal deleted all the fake accounts.

Tortoise’s 2021 podcast series “Sweet Bobby,” also about Assi’s catfishing case, provides the most information about Bhogal’s life.

The podcast reported that Bhogal was about 18 when she began catfishing Assi as Bobby Jandu.

In episode four, host Alexi Mostrous said Bhogal lived 20 minutes from Assi’s home in West London when they recorded the podcast in 2021. In episode five, Mostrous said Bhogal worked at a well-known British bank and was promoted to vice president in 2018.

That bank is rumored to be Barclays, but this has not been verified. In 2018, a recruitment company called Talent Ticker posted on X that a person named Simran Bhogal was promoted to Vice President, COO & finance business partner at Barclays.

A representative for Barclays did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.

In episode six, Mostrous said that Bhogal had left the job in 2021, though he did not know the reason why.

London’s Metropolitan police is still investigating the case, and Assi sued Bhogal in 2020. They settled in 2021, which included a payout to Assi and an apology letter, which Assi could only show to a limited number of people.
