Apart from her, the statement of husband Raj Kundra has also been recorded, whose name is also mentioned in the complaint.

Statements of about 5 people have been taken by the officers in this case, including Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra. Information about the entire transaction was taken from him. This interrogation took place in Shilpa Shetty’s house in Mumbai. At present the investigation team is finding out the details of the company with which Shilpa and Raj were associated at that time.

Last week, Shilpa Shetty’s husband businessman Raj Kundra was also questioned in this matter. During this, he said that the amount given by Deepak Kothari to Best Deal had been given to Bipasha Basu, Neha Dhupia and producer Ekta Kapoor as professional fees.

What is the whole matter?

In August, a Mumbai businessman Deepak Kothari filed a complaint against Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra alleging fraud of Rs 60 crore. According to Deepak Kothari, he met Shilpa and Kundra in 2015 through agent Rajesh Arya. At that time both were directors of Best Deal TV and Shilpa held more than 87% shares of the company.

Copy of the FIR of the case registered against Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra.

According to the complaint, it was decided in a meeting that Deepak would give loan to Shilpa and Raj Kundra’s company. A loan of Rs 75 crore was sought for the company, on which interest was fixed at 12% per annum.

Deepak Kothari alleges that later Shilpa and Kundra told him that there could be tax problems on the loan, hence they show it as an investment and will give returns every month. In April 2015, Kothari made the first payment of about Rs 31.95 crore. As tax issues continued, a second deal was struck in September and between July 2015 and March 2016, he transferred another Rs 28.54 crore.

In total he gave Rs 60.48 crore, also paid Rs 3.19 lakh as stamp duty. Kothari claims that Shilpa had given him a personal guarantee in April 2016, but in September the same year, she resigned from the post of director of the company.

After this, a case of non-payment of loan of Rs 1.28 crore came to light against Shilpa’s company. Kothari had no knowledge of this. He asked for his money back several times, but did not receive any response or money.

First the case was registered at Juhu Police Station under fraud and forgery. Since the amount was more than Rs 10 crore, the investigation has been handed over to the Economic Offenses Wing (EOW). EOW is investigating this case.
