Shilpa and Raj Kundra deny fraud accusations

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra are currently embroiled in a Rs 60 crore fraud case. Earlier, businessman Deepak Kothari, director of Lotus Capital Financial Services Ltd, filed a fraud complaint against the couple, accusing them of duping him in a loan-cum-investment deal worth Rs 60 crore. On Wednesday, Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) registered an FIR against the couple based on Deepak’s complaint.

According to a statement issued by Deepak’s lawyer, the EOW found evidence against Shilpa and Raj Kundra that warranted the charges levelled against them.

Raj Kundra, however, shared a statement denying all the allegations. He wrote on X, “We categorically deny the baseless and motivated allegations being circulated. The issues sought to be raised are being given a criminal colour without any lawful basis. A Quashing Petition has already been filed before the Hon’ble High Court and is pending adjudication. Having fully cooperated with the investigation, we are sanguine that justice will prevail and have complete faith in the law enforcement authorities and the Indian judiciary. We respectfully urge the media to exercise restraint as the matter is sub judice.”
