Shilpa Shetty Arrested & Dragged by Mumbai Police for fraud with Raj Kundra worth Rs 60 crore!

In a dramatic turn of events, Bollywood actress and entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty was reportedly arrested and dragged by Mumbai Police earlier today in connection with an alleged Rs 60 crore financial fraud involving her husband, businessman Raj Kundra.

According to sources, the arrest took place at the couple’s luxury residence in Juhu, Mumbai, early this morning. Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) had been investigating the case for several months after multiple complaints were filed by investors claiming to have been cheated by a company linked to Shilpa and Raj.

The Allegations

The couple is accused of luring investors into a bogus scheme promising high returns through a wellness and crypto-based startup. Victims claim they were promised triple returns within a year — but the company allegedly shut down operations overnight, leaving them in massive losses.

According to police officials, Rs 60 crore was collected from multiple high-profile individuals and small-time investors, none of whom received their promised returns.

High-Drama Arrest

Eyewitnesses say the arrest was far from quiet. When police arrived at their residence with a warrant, Shilpa allegedly refused to cooperate, leading to a heated argument. The situation escalated, and the police had to “physically escort” (drag) her to the vehicle, as seen in videos now going viral on social media.

Raj Kundra, who was also present, has reportedly been summoned for further interrogation, and sources say he may also be taken into custody soon.

Legal Team Responds

A spokesperson from Shilpa Shetty’s legal team has denied all allegations, calling the arrest “unjustified and politically motivated.” They claim that Shilpa is not directly involved in the financial dealings of the company in question and that she is being targeted due to her celebrity status.

What Happens Next?

Shilpa Shetty is currently in police custody and will be presented before a magistrate later today. Meanwhile, Raj Kundra is expected to appear before the EOW tomorrow.

The case is already sending shockwaves across Bollywood and social media, with fans and industry insiders shocked at the development.
