Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra.
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra are once again in legal difficulties. This time he has been accused of alleged fraud of crores of rupees from a businessman. According to the complaint, a businessman gave around Rs 60.48 crore as investment in Shilpa and Raj’s company, but it is alleged that the amount was used in private expenses instead of investing in business. The case is related to a company called Best Deal TV Private Limited, which is an online shopping platform.
What is the whole matter?
Businessman Deepak Kothari said in a complaint lodged at Juhu police station in Mumbai that he had given this amount to increase the company’s business between 2015 and 2023. Deepak Kothari says that in 2015, he came in contact with Shilpa and Raj through an agent Rajesh Arya. At that time Shilpa Shetty was the director of this company and she had more than 87% shares. Deepak Kothari claimed that Rajesh Arya had proposed a loan of Rs 75 crore for the company at a 12% annual interest.
Kothari made this claim
Due to the high interest rate, he suggested to give this amount as investment. After a meeting, the deal got the green signal and Kothari was promised that he would get their money back on time. Kothari transferred the first installment of about Rs 31.95 crore in April 2015. After this, he transferred more than Rs 28.54 crore between January 2015 and March 2016. In this way a total of Rs 60.48 crore was invested, along with Rs 3.19 lakh was also paid as stamp duty.
No money was received even after asking several times
Deepak Kothari claims that Shilpa Shetty also gave a personal guarantee in April 2016. But in September 2016, he resigned as the director of the company. Soon after, a case of bankruptcy of Rs 1.28 crore was also revealed against the company, about which Kothari had no information. Despite requesting several times, when the money was not returned, Deepak Kothari lodged a police complaint. Now the case is being investigated by the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offenses Branch (EOW).
