All about the ₹60 crore fraud case

In August, a businessman, Deepak Kothari, filed a case against Shilpa and Raj Kundra, claiming that the couple borrowed the money under the pretext of expanding their business but used it for personal expenses instead. Kothari claimed he transferred ₹31.95 crore in April 2015 under a share subscription agreement, and another ₹28.53 crore in September 2015 under a supplementary agreement. The total amount was credited to Best Deal TV's bank accounts. When he failed to recover the funds, Kothari filed a police complaint against the couple, accusing them of "dishonestly using" the money for personal benefit.
