Shilpa Shetty seeks legal advice after being accused of Rs 9 crore fraud

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has decided to seek legal advice after the Kolkata police lodged a complaint against her for allegedly doing a fraud of Rs nine crore.

According to the complaint, Shilpa had allegedly induced a city-based company to invest the huge amount in a company run by her. The 39-year-old actress took to Twitter to slam the accuser.

"Seeking legal advice... He's a defaulter and clearly a fraud going by his reputation. So annoying! "Crazy news! I dare this Manoj Jain to submit proofs to his ridiculous claims. His two minute fame can't b @ the cost of my hard earned reputation," she wrote.

The case is initiated against Shilpa and and Ripu Sudan Kundra of Essential Sports Private Limited (ESPL), Bandra, Mumbai on the basis of the complaint filed by MK Media Private Limited's representative Debashis Guha.

Guha in his complaint alleged that the ESPL took a sum of Rs nine crore through Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and cheque from MK Media Private Limited with a promise of repayment of 10 times the invested amount within two years.
