Actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra were questioned by the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) for nearly four hours in connection with a cheating case involving Rs 60.48 crore.
According to reports, between 2015 and 2023, Raj Kundra allegedly received the amount from a businessman for business expansion but is accused of diverting the funds for personal use.
It is further alleged that Rs 15 crore from the total sum was transferred to the account of Shilpa Shetty’s advertising company. Both Shilpa and Raj have strongly denied the allegations.
The EOW has reportedly issued a lookout notice to prevent the couple from travelling abroad and is scrutinising their financial and travel records as part of the investigation.
Responding to the accusations, Raj Kundra’s representatives stated that the matter stems from an old business agreement that ran into trouble due to financial losses and lacks any criminal intent.
They also clarified that the issue had already been resolved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on October 4, 2024, with all supporting documents and audit records submitted to the EOW.
