Bollywood actress and entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty has recorded her statement with the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police in connection with an alleged Rs 60 crore fraud case. Officials confirmed that Shilpa was questioned for nearly 4.5 hours during which her complete statement was documented.
According to an EOW officer the police team visited Shilpa’s residence to carry out the questioning. The actress reportedly cooperated with the investigators and provided details regarding transactions linked to her advertising company’s bank account.
What documents did Shilpa submit?
During the inquiry Shilpa handed over several documents to the investigating team. These papers are now under verification as part of the ongoing probe. Sources added that she explained her role in the company’s financial operations and clarified how the funds were managed.
What’s Raj Kundra’s involvement in the case?
In September the Economic Offences Wing had already recorded the statement of Shilpa’s husband Raj Kundra in the same case. Mumbai Police at the time stated “Investigations are going on against actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra in an alleged fraud case of Rs 60 crore. A summon was issued by the Economic Offences Wing of Mumbai Police to Raj Kundra. He was asked to appear before police for the investigation.”
Raj’s interrogation reportedly lasted five hours but officials said he remained silent on several key questions. The EOW has planned another round of questioning next week to fill the gaps in his statement.
What are the fraud allegations?
Businessman Deepak Kothari has filed a complaint alleging that Shilpa and Raj conspired to cheat him of over Rs 60 crore. He claimed the money given between 2015 and 2023 for business expansion was instead used for personal expenses.
According to reports Raj Kundra allegedly told police that a portion of the Rs 60 crore was paid as fees to actresses Bipasha Basu and Neha Dhupia. Investigators have also traced direct transfers from the company’s accounts into those of four actresses including Shilpa Shetty Bipasha Basu and Neha Dhupia apart from transactions connected to Balaji Entertainment.
What happens next?
The EOW is now verifying all financial documents and transaction trails submitted by Shilpa. Investigators are expected to call Raj Kundra again for further questioning. The case continues to unfold as Mumbai Police dig deeper into the alleged misuse of business funds and diversion of money.
