A shocking scandal has rocked the Indian film industry, leaving a renowned filmmaker and his daughter entangled in a web of legal troubles. Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and his daughter, Krishna Bhatt, have been charged in a massive fraud case involving a staggering Rs 13.5 crore.
But the controversy doesn't end there. The Mumbai Police have registered a case against the duo at Versova Police Station, alleging that they duped a businessman by promising lucrative returns on investments in cinema. The businessman claims to have been defrauded of a substantial amount, and the case has now been taken up by the Economic Offenses Wing for further scrutiny.
Vikram Bhatt's financial dealings have been under the microscope recently. In an unrelated incident, Vikram and his wife, Shwetambari, were previously granted seven days of police custody by the ACJM court in Udaipur, linked to a separate Rs 30 crore fraud case. The couple was arrested at their Mumbai home and brought to Udaipur, where they appeared in court.
And here's where it gets even more intriguing: DSP Chhagan Singh Rajpurohit is leading the investigation into the Rs 13.5 crore case, and upon their arrival in Udaipur, Vikram Bhatt and his wife tried to evade the media. Vikram remains in custody for the Rs 30 crore case, while the investigation into the new allegations unfolds.
A police team, led by DSP Rajpurohit, arrested Vikram and Shwetambari Bhatt from their Juhu residence. The team faced resistance from the couple's security staff, who initially denied their presence at home. The case originated from an FIR filed by Dr. Ajay Murdia, a prominent businessman, who accused Vikram Bhatt and his associates of soliciting funds for a biopic about Dr. Murdia's wife. Dr. Murdia was allegedly promised an investment of Rs 7 crore would yield four films with potential returns of Rs 100-200 crore.
