What is the Rs 60 crore fraud involving Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra?
As per reports in Hindustan Times, Shilpa Shetty and husband Raj Kundra were booked by the Economic Offences Wing of Mumbai Police for a fraud of Rs 60 crore. The complaint was filed by businessman Deepak Kothari, who claimed that between 2015 and 2023, funds meant for business expansion were misappropriated for personal use.
Their lawyer, Prashant Patil, called the allegations “baseless and malicious,” stressing that the matter is settled via civil channels, with no criminal intent. He also noted that all financial records have been submitted to the EOW, and that the case had been addressed by NCLT in October 2024.
