₹60 Crore Fraud Case Filed Against Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra

New Delhi: Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra have been booked for allegedly cheating a Mumbai businessman of ₹60.48 crore. The case, filed by businessman Deepak Kothari, alleges that between 2015 and 2023, the couple diverted the funds—originally meant for business expansion—for personal use. Kothari claims he met the couple through an intermediary when they were directors of the online shopping platform Best Deal TV, 87% of which was in Shilpa’s name. Initially, he invested ₹31.95 crore in April 2015, followed by another ₹28.54 crore, after being told of ongoing tax issues. However, in April 2016, Shilpa resigned as a director, and the company faced legal trouble. Despite repeated requests, the money was not returned. The Juhu police have registered the case under charges of cheating and fraud.
