Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade and 12 others have been named in a cheating case at Bhogaon Police Station in Mainpuri district. The FIR was filed on February 10 after a local court directed police to register a complaint from a resident of Mohalla Mishrana. The case revolves around alleged financial fraud and investment scams.

According to the complaint, Talpade and his associates reportedly convinced villagers and city residents to invest large sums in what was claimed to be a Mumbai-based bank branch. Investors were promised high returns, but when payments were not received and repayment requests were ignored, the complainant approached the court for legal intervention.

Police have initiated an investigation following court orders under laws related to cheating and criminal breach of trust. Authorities are examining the source of funds, the authenticity of the claimed bank, and the role of each accused. Questioning of the accused is expected soon, while Talpade has not publicly commented.

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra have come under the scanner of the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in connection with a ₹60 crore fraud case. According to sources, EOW officials visited Shilpa’s residence on Monday and questioned her for nearly 4.5 hours. Both Shilpa and Raj’s statements were recorded as part of the investigation.

During the interrogation, Shilpa reportedly provided documents related to alleged transactions from her advertising company’s bank account. The documents are currently being verified by the police. Raj Kundra, in his statement, mentioned that complainant Deepak Kothari’s NBFC had granted a ₹60 crore loan, which was later adjusted as equity in Kothari’s firm. He also claimed that ₹20 crore was used for celebrity promotions and broadcasting expenses, including payments to Bipasha Basu and Neha Dhupia.

EOW officials stated that Shilpa is a major shareholder in the company under investigation. Evidence suggests she received celebrity fees despite her shareholding, raising suspicions of fund misappropriation. The case, filed in August, is linked to the now-defunct Best Deal TV Pvt. Ltd., with lookout notices earlier issued against the couple.
