03:01Well, Sneha, the fraud case that is registered with the Economic Offenses Wing of Mumbai Police,
03:08that goes back to the year 2015 when Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra lured a businessman, Deepak Kothari,
03:16to invest in their company, Best Deal TV Private Limited.
03:19And through that investment, it was initially a loan.
03:23Then they asked him to turn it into an investment into their company.
03:27And then duped and laundered all the money, used it personally, did not use it as they had mentioned
03:33that they would use it for increasing the business of Best Deal TV, but used it themselves,
03:40diverted the money, diverted the funds and duped him of all 60 crores.
03:45He had been waiting for a good 10 years for the refund.
03:49He had contacted them again and again, repeatedly contacted them.
03:53He was given fake promises and then they started, then they discontinued any kind of communication with him.
04:00After that, eventually he filed a case, EOW registered the FIR and now Section 420 of IPC,
04:08that is for cheating and fraud, has been added to the case.
04:12The case was already there, it was a forgery case.
04:15Now, the section for cheating and fraud, that is Section 420 of IPC,
04:22has been added in the FIR against Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra.
