Shilpa Shetty denies Rs 60 crore transfer claim, calls it totally fake
Shilpa Shetty rebuts claims that Raj Kundra shifted Rs 15 crore of a Rs 60 crore cheating sum to her account, calling the reports totally fake as investigators proceed with the case.
Shilpa Shetty has rejected claims that her husband Raj Kundra transferred Rs 15 crore from the Rs 60 crore cheating sum into an account linked to her, saying the reports are totally fake.
Her legal team dismissed the NDTV report that cited an EOW brief and claimed a transfer of Rs 60 crore to her account, noting that Kundra would allegedly be called for questioning, although she has not been summoned yet. The report had suggested the Economic Offences Wing had revealed the transfer and would bring Shilpa in for questioning.
Earlier this month, Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing recorded Raj Kundra's statement in connection with the Rs 60 crore cheating case. A senior IPS told The Indian Express that Kundra's statement was recorded and that more witnesses would be verified before the next round of interrogation.
Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty were booked in August, and a Look-Out-Circular (LOC) was issued against them in September as the case develops. The complaint leading to the case was filed by Deepak Kothari, a director of Lotus Capital Financial Services Limited, a finance company that provides loans.
He alleged that the couple approached him for a loan and claimed he transferred Rs 31.95 crore in April 2015 and Rs 28.53 crore in September 2015. Kothari said he made repeated attempts to recover the money but failed, and he accused the couple of cheating him and using the funds for their personal benefit.
