Jay Dudhane calls the ₹5 crore fraud case 'false'

Jay Dudhane reiterated his faith in the "justice" while calling the case false and wrong. The actor assured of cooperating with the police in the investigation. "I was about to go on my honeymoon. My brother, my wife, and my brother's wife--the four of us were going abroad. I didn't even know that an arrest warrant or an LOC (Lookout Circular) had been issued in my name. The police told me that I couldn't leave the country, so I am fully cooperating with the police. A false case hasn't been filed against me, but many things have been misrepresented. I am ready to face everything at my level. I have complete faith in justice. This case is completely false," said Jay Dhudhane while talking to the media.
