Raj
Kundra
Fraud
Case
Update:
The
Economic
Offences
Wing
(EOW)
of
the
Mumbai
Police
has
intensified
its
investigation
into
a
suspected
Rs
60
crore
fraud
case
involving
Raj
Kundra,
Shilpa
Shetty’s
husband.
Bollywood
actresses
Bipasha
Basu
and
Neha
Dhupia
have
also
come
under
scrutiny.
Reports
suggest
that
Kundra
informed
investigators
that
part
of
the
disputed
funds
was
paid
to
Bipasha
and
Neha
as
professional
fees.

While
the
actresses’ involvement
appears
limited
to
receiving
payments
for
projects,
the
EOW
is
investigating
whether
these
transactions
were
legitimate
or
part
of
financial
irregularities.
According
to
Times
Now,
approximately
Rs
25
crore
was
transferred
directly
into
the
accounts
of
Shilpa,
Bipasha,
Neha,
and
entertainment
company
Balaji.
These
fund
flows
are
being
scrutinised
to
determine
if
they
were
genuine
business
expenses
or
disguised
diversions.

Investigation
Details

During
a
recent
five-hour
interrogation,
Kundra
reportedly
avoided
answering
several
critical
questions.
The
EOW
plans
to
summon
him
again
next
week
along
with
other
individuals
connected
to
the
financial
dealings.
The
case
dates
back
to
demonetisation
and
involves
allegations
of
suspicious
fund
movements
disguised
as
production
and
promotional
expenses.

Investigators
have
already
gathered
evidence
of
such
transfers
and
have
asked
Kundra
to
resubmit
video
content
created
for
a
venture
called
Best
Deal
for
further
verification.
Kundra
claimed
that
all
videos
were
previously
seized
by
the
Mumbai
Crime
Branch
in
another
case.
Police
sources
confirmed
that
the
EOW
will
coordinate
with
the
Crime
Branch
regarding
these
videos
and
may
requisition
them
if
necessary.

Allegations
and
Evidence

The
allegations
centre
around
suspicious
fund
movements
carried
out
under
the
guise
of
production
and
promotional
expenses
during
demonetisation.
Investigators
are
working
to
verify
if
these
transactions
were
legitimate
or
part
of
financial
irregularities
flagged
in
the
case.
The
EOW
is
examining
whether
payments
made
to
Bipasha
Basu
and
Neha
Dhupia
were
through
legitimate
channels.

Kundra’s
involvement
in
this
case
has
drawn
significant
attention
due
to
his
connections
with
Bollywood
personalities.
The
investigation
aims
to
uncover
whether
any
wrongdoing
occurred
in
these
financial
dealings.
As
authorities
continue
their
probe,
more
individuals
linked
to
these
transactions
may
be
summoned
for
questioning.

The
ongoing
investigation
highlights
the
complexities
involved
in
tracing
financial
transactions
within
the
entertainment
industry.
Authorities
are
determined
to
ensure
transparency
and
accountability
in
such
cases,
leaving
no
stone
unturned
in
their
pursuit
of
justice.
