Shilpa Shetty Cheating Case: On Monday, the Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) officers interrogated actor Shilpa Shetty for four and a half hours in connection with a 60 crore cheating case. According to EOW, five people's statements—including those of Raj Kundra, Shilpa Shetty's husband—have been recorded thus far. His statement was recorded on September 15 for about five hours in a private setting to avoid receiving media notice.

Shilpa Shetty was questioned by the police at her home for about five hours, as per a report by Times Now. She disclosed details of purported transactions in the bank account of her advertising agency during the interrogation. Police officers are verifying the documents Shilpa shared during the interrogation.

Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra, and other members of Best Deal TV Private Limited are the subject of an ongoing investigation by the EOW. To strengthen the case, key witnesses' and stakeholders' statements, including those of resolution experts and business insiders, are being documented systematically.

Cheating Case Against Shilpa Shetty And Raj Kundra

A cheating lawsuit worth Rs 60 crore has been filed against Shetty and Kundra in Mumbai. A director at Lotus Capital Finance Service, a non-banking financial organization, Deepak Kothari, 60, is a businessman who has accused the couple and others of defrauding him of Rs 60.4 crore through a loan-cum-investment deal involving their now-defunct company, Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd.

The couple had previously asked the court for approval to take a family holiday in Phuket, Thailand, from October 2–5, stating verified travel and lodging arrangements. The Bombay High Court, however, turned down their request. They had petitioned the Mumbai Police's Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) to halt the lookout notice.

Police had issued Lookout Circulars (LOCs) against Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra in September. A LOC is used by authorities to keep someone from leaving the country or to keep tabs on their whereabouts, notifying border and immigration officers to keep an eye out for the person.
