Actor Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra are facing serious allegations. A Mumbai court has asked the police to investigate a fraud case against them. The couple is accused of cheating an investor in a gold scheme.
The court’s order came after a complaint by Prithviraj Kothari, the managing director of Riddhi Siddhi Bullions. He claims that the couple company, Satyug Gold Private Limited, promised to deliver gold but did not keep their word.
Judge NP Mehta noted that there is enough evidence to investigate Shetty, Kundra, and all others involved. The Bandra Kurla Complex police station will now look into the case. They will register a First Information Report (FIR) under sections of the Indian Penal Code for cheating and criminal breach of trust.
According to Kothari, the couple launched a gold investment scheme in 2014. Investors were told to pay for gold at a discounted rate upfront with the gold promised to be delivered after a certain period. Kothari invested ₹90,38,600 in this scheme. He was supposed to receive 5,000 grams of 24-carat gold by April 2, 2019. However, Kothari says he never got the gold, even after the maturity date. Kothari has called the scheme “bogus” and accused Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra of conspiring to cheat investors. The police will now investigate these serious allegations.
