Earlier this month, the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) recorded Raj’s statement in connection with the Rs 60 crore cheating case. At the time, a senior IPS told The Indian Express, “We have recorded the statement of Kundra and will summon him next week probably as more witnesses need to be verified before the next round of interrogation.” Raj and Shilpa were booked for the cheating case in August, and a Look-Out-Circular (LOC) was issued against them in September. Shilpa has not been summoned for questioning so far.

The case against Raj and Shilpa was lodged on the basis of a complaint filed by Deepak Kothari, a director of Lotus Capital Financial Services Limited, a finance company that provides loans. He alleged that the couple approached him as they wanted a loan. He claimed he transferred Rs 31.95 crore in April 2015, and then transferred Rs 28.53 crore in September 2015. He claimed that he made repeated attempts to recover the money but failed. He alleged that the couple cheated him and used this money for their personal benefit.
