Overview
- The Economic Offences Wing registered the case based on a complaint by Deepak Kothari naming Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra and their now-defunct company Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd.
- Kothari alleges over Rs 60 crore invested between 2015 and 2023 for business expansion was diverted away from corporate use.
- Mumbai Police have issued a Look Out Circular for the couple in connection with the ongoing probe, according to multiple reports.
- Representatives for Shetty and Kundra have disputed the allegations as civil in nature, citing adjudication at NCLT Mumbai on October 4, 2024.
- Public focus has intensified after a Farah Khan vlog showcased their Juhu home reportedly valued near Rs 100 crore, as prior ED action in 2024 seized about Rs 98 crore in assets linked to a separate probe involving Kundra.
