Shilpa Shetty & Raj Kundra Fraud Case: EOW Links Rs. 15 Crore Transaction to Actress, Actress Summoned for Questioning

The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police has intensified its probe into a Rs. 60 crore fraud case involving Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra. During the ongoing investigation, authorities uncovered that Raj Kundra transferred Rs. 15 crore to a company owned by Shilpa Shetty. Following this revelation, the actress has now been summoned for interrogation.

Details of the Fraud Case

As reported by IANS, the EOW is looking into the financial transactions linked to the alleged Rs. 60 crore scam. The report states:

"The Mumbai Police's EOW is investigating a ₹60 crore fraud case involving Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra. The inquiry revealed that Raj Kundra sent ₹15 crore to Shilpa Shetty's firm. The EOW plans to question Shilpa Shetty regarding billing and advertising costs. Some important documents are pending, and some funds were transferred to affiliated companies."

The Rs. 15 crore transaction has raised questions about fund allocation, billing practices, and business management within Shilpa Shetty’s firm. Authorities are now examining whether the transaction was legitimate or part of the alleged financial irregularities.

Shilpa Shetty & Raj Kundra’s Legal Response

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra’s legal team had earlier dismissed the fraud allegations. Advocate Prashant Patil, representing the couple, clarified:

"My clients learned through certain electronic and print media outlets that a case has been filed against them with the EOW, Mumbai. My clients initially deny all allegations, which are purely civil in nature and were resolved by the NCLT, Mumbai on 04/10/2024. This relates to an old transaction when the company was in financial difficulties and involved in a lengthy legal dispute."

This statement highlights that the couple considers the allegations resolved and civil in nature, yet the EOW is conducting a thorough investigation to verify all financial documents and transactions.
