MumbaiThe difficulties of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra, her business man husband Raj Kundra (Shilpa Shetty -Raj Kundra) do not seem to decrease. A case of cheating has been registered against an unknown person with Shilpa, Raj (Shilpa Shetty -Raj Kundra). The Economic Offenses Branch (EOW) has registered a case against the three for cheating Rs 60.4 crore from a Mumbai businessman. This fraud case is now to a loan-cum investment deal to his closed company Best Deal TV Private Limited.
Mumbai businessman has lodged a complaint
A case was registered against Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra under IPC sections of fraud and forgery at Juhu police station. However, the amount included in it is more than Rs 10 crore, so the case was transferred to EOW. The entire case has been registered after preliminary investigation of the complaint lodged by Deepak Kothari. 60 -year -old Kothari hails from Juhu and an NBFC is the director of Lotus Capital Financial Services.
The company had assured this
Kothari said that a person named Rajesh Arya introduced him to Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty, who was the director of home shopping and online retail platform Best Deal TV Private Limited. At that time Shilpa and Raj Kundra had 87.6% of the company’s shares. The accused allegedly sought a loan of Rs 75 crore at 12% interest, but later persuaded them to invest as “investment” to avoid higher taxation. At the same time, monthly returns and principal were assured.
Action was going on on the company
Kothari claims that he transferred Rs 31.9 crore under a share subscription agreement in April 2015 and Rs 28.53 crore under a supplementary agreement in September 2015. The FIR states that despite giving personal guarantee in April 2016, Shetty resigned as Director in September 2016. Kothari later came to know that insolvency proceedings were going on against the company due to missing another agreement in 2017. At present, the entire case is under investigation.
