What’s Happening?
Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing has issued a Lookout Circular (LOC) against Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra. This action, taken on Friday, bars them from leaving India at immigration checkpoints, as they face allegations of using ₹60 crore improperly.
What’s Behind the LOC?
The police are investigating claims that the couple diverted investment funds received through their now-defunct company, Best Deal TV, for personal use instead of business needs. The complaint, lodged by businessman Deepak Kothari, covers transactions spanning from 2015 to 2023.
Couple Responds
Their lawyer has rejected these allegations, stating that the matter is civil and was already resolved through the NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) back in 2024. He emphasized that the questions raised are a repeat of old disputes and are being addressed legally.
Final Word
The issuance of a Lookout Notice signals serious legal scrutiny. As the couple faces questioning and investigation, public and media attention is focused squarely on how this high-profile case unfolds. Meanwhile, glimpses of their personal lives—like their active efforts to stay connected—add a human touch to an otherwise tense situation.
