A complaint was lodged against Raj-Silpa in August.
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra were lodged in a complaint in August for fraud of 60 crores. In this case, now EOW (Economic Criminal Branch) has sent summons to Raj Kundra on Tuesday. He will have to appear in front of Eow on 15 September and record the statement.
Earlier, Raj Kundra was summoned to appear on 10 September, although he sought time, after which he will now get the statement recorded on August 15. Raj Kundra will not be able to go out of India until the investigation is completed.
Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra have been summoned 3 times in a fraud case of 60 crores. Both of them told the investigating officials through a lawyer that they live in London, due to which they would not be able to appear. This was the reason that his lawyer Prashant Patil appeared every time. However, EOW has said that he has not received complete information from the lawyer. A complaint was filed against the couple in August after 3 summons in this case.
Today is Raj Kundra’s birthday. On this occasion, Shilpa has shared the post and prayed for her to be protected.
What is the whole matter of fraud of 60?
In August, a Mumbai businessman Deepak Kothari filed a complaint against Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra on charges of fraud of 60 crores. According to Deepak Kothari, he met Shilpa and Kundra in 2015 through agent Rajesh Arya. At that time both were the directors of the best deal TV and Shilpa had more than 87% shares of the company.
In a meeting, it was decided that Shilpa and Raj will give a lamp to Kundra’s company. A loan of Rs 75 crore was sought for the company, on which 12% annual interest was fixed.
Deepak Kothari alleges that Shilpa and Kundra later told them that the loan may face tax problems, so show it as investment and will give returns every month. In April 2015, Kothari made the first payment of around Rs 31.95 crore. There was a second deal in September due to the continuation of tax problems and between July 2015 and March 2016, he transferred more than Rs 28.54 crore.
Overall, he gave Rs 60.48 crore, along with Rs 3.19 lakh as stamp duty. Kothari claims that Shilpa also gave him a personal guarantee in April 2016, but in September the same year she resigned as the director of the company.
After this, a case of not paying a loan of Rs 1.28 crore on Shilpa’s company came to light. Kothari had no idea about this. He asked for his money back several times, but did not get any reply and money.
The first case was registered at Juhu police station under fraud and forgery. Since the amount was more than 10 crores, the investigation has been handed over to the Economic Offenses Branch (EOW). Eow is investigating this case.
