Shilpa Shetty, mother Sunanda booked for ‘fraud’ in wellness business; company claims they parted ways long ago – Times of India

Actress Shilpa Shetty is already the eye of the storm currently owing to the arrest of her husband Raj Kundra in a pornography-related case. Now, she, along with her mother, was recently booked by Lucknow police in an alleged fraud case.

According to a report in a news portal, a team of Lucknow Police is expected to be in Mumbai to question the actress and her mother in the alleged fraud case in the name of a wellness centre.

Two FIRs have been registered at Hazratganj and Vibhuti Khand police stations in Lucknow and the police have now intensified the investigation in both the cases.

The report also added that according to the police, Shilpa runs a fitness chain. The chairman of this company is Shilpa Shetty, while her mother Sunanda is the director. It is alleged that Shilpa and her mother took crores of rupees from two people in the name of opening a branch of the wellness centre, but the promise was never fulfilled.

However, the company’s chairperson took to her Instagram handle to lend clarification in the ongoing case.

According to them, Shilpa and her mother have nothing to do with it. In fact, they have also mentioned that they parted ways with them a long time ago.
