Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty was questioned for over four hours by Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in connection with a ₹60 crore fraud case.
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty was questioned for over four hours by Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in connection with a ₹60 crore fraud case. The investigation centers on the now-defunct company, Best Deal TV Private Limited, where Shetty and her husband, Raj Kundra, were directors.
The case was registered at Juhu Police Station on August 14 after businessman Deepak Kothari alleged that he was cheated of nearly ₹60 crore through a loan-cum-investment deal. Shetty has denied any involvement in the company’s affairs, stating that she was not looking into the company’s operations and was paid a celebrity fee for her appearances on the platform.
During the investigation, Raj Kundra claimed that a portion of the alleged funds was later distributed as professional fees to Bollywood actors such as Bipasha Basu, Neha Dhupia, and producer Ekta Kapoor. The EOW is examining financial records and other witness accounts to understand the company’s transactions and any potential misappropriation of funds.
The case highlights ongoing scrutiny of celebrity-led business ventures and the legal responsibilities of directors in corporate operations.
