Shilpa Shetty Denies Reported ₹15 Crore Transfer as EOW Fraud Probe Intensifies

Her lawyer labels the alleged payment a falsehood, with a move to the Bombay High Court for relief.

Overview

  • Shilpa Shetty’s legal team says no ₹15 crore was received and announces plans for criminal and civil action against outlets carrying the claim.
  • Investigators earlier said they traced about ₹15 crore to a Shetty-linked company and indicated she could be summoned, with verification of the transaction underway.
  • Raj Kundra’s statement was recorded on September 15 during a more than five-hour EOW interrogation, and reports suggest he may face further questioning.
  • The case stems from a complaint by Deepak Kothari alleging a ₹60.4 crore loan‑cum‑investment fraud tied to the defunct Best Deal TV between 2015 and 2023.
  • EOW officials say key records from appointed resolution professionals remain outstanding, as media reports cite nearly ₹25 crore in transfers traced to multiple celebrity accounts and Balaji.
