- Multiple reports from the courtroom say the bench indicated it would consider foreign travel only after a Rs 60 crore deposit, and it declined to stay the Look Out Circular.
- Raj Kundra later disputed that the court directed any deposit, saying judges only sought details of proposed travel to be filed by October 14.
- The Economic Offences Wing recorded Shilpa Shetty’s statement for about four to four-and-a-half hours on October 4 at her Mumbai residence and collected documents now under examination.
- Investigators say statements of five people, including Kundra, have been recorded as they trace bank transactions linked to Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd.
- An FIR based on Deepak Kothari’s complaint alleges Rs 60.48 crore sent in 2015 to Best Deal TV was diverted for personal use, with offences cited under sections 403, 406 and 34; the couple deny wrongdoing and say Shetty resigned as director in 2016.
