After reports emerged that Raj Kundra transferred Rs 15 crore to an account of a company owned by Shilpa Shetty, her lawyer, Prashant Patil, has issued a statement saying the report is “totally fake” and “intentionally planted in the public domain to defame” Shilpa. The statement from her lawyer stated that they would be filing damages “against all the news articles” that they claim have been “circulated mischievously.” The statement also claimed that “no such amount” was ever received by Shilpa. The statement also stated that Shilpa would be moving to Bombay High Court in this matter.

Previously, a report on NDTV claimed that Raj Kundra transferred Rs 15 crore out of the Rs 60 crore to an account of a company owned by Shilpa Shetty. The report claimed that the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) had revealed the same, and said that Shilpa would soon be called in for questioning.

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.
