Mumbai: Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is in trouble again, this time because of a money fraud case. Mumbai Police Economic Offences Wing (EOW) questioned her for five hours about case.
Businessman Deepak Kothari, from Lotus Capital Financial Services Ltd., has accused Shilpa and her husband Raj Kundra of cheating him of 60 cr
In 2015, Shilpa reportedly asked Kothari for 75 crore to grow her business. Later, she told him to give it as an investment, not a loan.
He then sent her 60 crore in two parts – one payment in April 2015 and another in September 2015.
Kothari says couple used money for personal use, not for business. Even after many requests, they didn’t return money, so he went to police.
Police action
EOW has already questioned Raj Kundra and five others. Police also issued a lookout notice for Shilpa and Raj so they can’t leave country.
Shilpa and her lawyer Prashant Patil say the claims are completely false.
They said, “We respect the law and will share truth with police soon.”
