Mumbai EOW Investigates ₹60 Crore Fraud Case Linked to Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty

Mumbai (The Uttam Hindu): Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra appear to be facing legal trouble once again. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police has made a major revelation in a alleged ₹60 crore fraud case. Investigations revealed that approximately ₹15 crore from this amount was transferred by Raj Kundra into Shilpa Shetty’s company bank account. Shilpa Shetty may soon be issued a notice for questioning in this case.

EOW officials stated that it is important to understand the basis on which such a large sum was transferred. The investigation is focused on whether the payment was genuinely made for advertising or professional services, as typically, such large amounts are not spent on advertising. Officials will also conduct a detailed inquiry into the basis on which Shilpa Shetty raised the bill.

Further investigation revealed that the company Resolution Personalities (RP) has not yet provided the necessary documents to the EOW. They were previously summoned for questioning, but the documents have not been submitted. According to a senior official, the complainant trader was deliberately not given 26% shares of the company to prevent this information from reaching the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). The probe also found that a portion of the ₹60 crore was transferred to sister companies.

The EOW is preparing to issue a summons to Raj Kundra again by the end of this week. Earlier, Raj Kundra faced action by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and other agencies in cases related to money laundering and pornography. Once again, he is under investigation by the EOW and ED.
