Offences Wing claim evidence availability over Raj’s Rs.15 cr
transfer
In a new development the Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police has made a significant revelation in the ongoing probe into the alleged Rs 60 crore fraud involving businessman Raj Kundra and actress Shilpa Shetty.
EOW sources reveal that bizman Raj Kundra transferred approximately Rs 15 crore from the Rs 60 crore to the bank account of Shilpa Shetty owned company.
The case concerns to Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd, a now-defunct teleshopping company floated by actress Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra, actor Akshay Kumar, and promoted as India’s first celebrity-based shopping channel.
Currently, the authorities are verifying the purpose of the
Rs 15 crore transaction. Concerns have been raised by officials over the high amount, which they say appears excessive for regular advertising services.
It’s learned that Shilpa Shetty may soon be summoned for questioning to explain the nature of the payment and why such a large bill was raised by her company. Sources confirm that Raj Kundra may also be summoned once again by the end of the week for further questioning.
However, Shilpa’s lawyer, in a statement denied the claims saying that at the outset, they would like to state that, this piece of information is totally fake and mischievous intentionally planted in the public domain to defame my client. No such amount was ever received by my client Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra and at this stage , they cannot reveal anything further as the matter is sub judice.
Further adding, the lawyer claimed that by intentionally defaming his client, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, is now compelled to seek protection of law enforcement agencies against such mischievous conduct of certain individuals.
The EOW also revealed that key documents related to the case have not been submitted by the appointed Resolution Professionals (RPs), previously summoned for questioning.
