Mumbai: Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty was questioned by Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) for more than four and a half hours this week in connection with an alleged Rs 60 crore fraud case involving her husband, businessman Raj Kundra.
According to EOW officials, Raj Kundra allegedly transferred approximately Rs 15 crores from the disputed amount into a company account held by Shilpa Shetty. The actress was summoned to help investigators understand her involvement in these transactions.
During the lengthy interrogation at the EOW office, Shilpa reportedly provided bank statements and detailed information about financial transactions related to her advertising company. Police have seized several key documents from her for further examination.
The investigation has progressed significantly, with statements now recorded from five individuals, including Raj Kundra, whose testimony was taken in September. Authorities are currently tracing the movement of funds to determine the intent behind the alleged transfers.
Confirming the ongoing probe, Mumbai Police stated: “Investigations are going on against actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra in an alleged fraud case of Rs 60 crores.”
In a separate development, the Bombay High Court rejected the couple’s application to travel abroad for a family vacation to Phuket, Thailand, scheduled from October 2 to 5. The court also declined to grant a stay on the lookout notice issued against them by the EOW.
The investigation remains active as authorities continue examining the financial trail.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses. Sonnet 4.5
