Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]September 16 (Ani): Mumbai Police Economic Violation Wing (Eow) recorded Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra’s statement on Monday in an alleged case related to the fraud of a £ 60 crore businessman. According to Eow, the next interrogation may take place next week. However, explanations of more witnesses still need to be investigated and verified. The next round of interrogation will only begin after he has thoroughly investigated the statements of the Witnesses. On September 5, a Uitkyk omsend letter (LOC) against Shetty and Raj Kundra was issued by Mumbai police in an alleged fraud for £ 60 crore. The wing of economic offenses (Eow) of Mumbai police, who are investigating the case, issued the LOC earlier. The complainant’s lawyers, Dr. Yusuf Iqbal and Adv. Zain Shroff of Yna Legal, earlier demanded that a look -out of the case be issued in the case. In August, a case against Shilpa Shetty, her husband Raj Kundra, and another person were brought because he allegedly cheated on a businessman of more than £ 60. The complaint, filed by businessman Deepak Kothari, director of Lotus Capital Financial Services Ltd, claims that the incidents occurred between 2015 and 2023. Kothari claimed that the couple took the money under the pretext of expanding their business, but rather used it for personal expenses. According to Kothari, Shetty and Kundra approached him in 2015 by a mediator who was looking for a £ 75 loan for their business, Best Deal TV PVT Ltd, which promoted lifestyle products and managed an online shopping platform. The proposed interest rate was 12 percent. Later, they allegedly asked him to provide the funds as an ‘investment’ instead of a loan, which assured him of monthly returns and repayment of the principal. Kothari claimed that in April 2015 he transferred £ 31.95 crore under a share subscription agreement, and another crore of £ 28.53 in September 2015 under a supplementary agreement. The total amount was credited to the best transaction’s bank accounts. Repeated attempts to raise the funds allegedly failed, and Kothari accused the couple of “dishonestly using the money for personal benefit”. Shilpa and Raj’s lawyer Prashant Patil denied the allegations, saying that they would offer “our truth” before investigating agencies. (Ani)
