The MIDC police on Sunday arrested Veera Desai resident Saha, on charges of cheating, forgery, breach of trust and misappropriation of funds.
Police produced Saha before the local court which remanded him to 7 days’ police custody. Police are now looking for his wife Radhika Nanda and mother Nandita Saha.
Oberoi has alleged that the accused made the actor invest money in an event and film production firm promising lucrative profits. However, later, the accused used the money for wrongful gains.
The complaint was filed by Oberoi’s manager Deven Bafna, who alleged that in 2017, Oberoi and his wife Priyanka formed an LLP company – Oberoi Mega Entertainment – which sold organic products. Soon, Oberoi was introduced to Saha, who claimed he was part of the film industry and convinced Oberoi to invest in event management.
Relying on Saha, Oberoi agreed for form ‘Anandita Entertainment’ in which Saha’s wife Radhika Nanda and his mother Nandita Saha were partners.
As per the Police in 2021, the firm took the responsibility of marketing Nawazuddin’s upcoming film Haddi.
s Oberoi was busy with his work, the day-to-day affairs of the firm were looked after by Saha and his wife Radhika.
Oberoi later found out that Anandita Entertainment had transferred a huge sum of money from Anandita Entertainment without citing any valid reasons.
In 2022, when an Anandita Entertainment employee met Oberoi, he informed him that Saha was misappropriating funds.
Oberoi learnt that huge sums were allegedly transferred by Saha for his personal expense, such as Rs 5 lakh for buying Tata AIG life insurance, Rs 10 lakh for Radhika’s salary and buying ornaments. In all, Anandita Entertainment siphoned Rs 58 lakh. Police said the accused also cheated Nawazuddin Siddiqui. “Saha and Radhika cheated Oberoi of Rs 1.55 crore.
