Trouble for Shraddha in cheating case: Court orders inquiry against actress

Mumbai: An Andheri metropolitan court has ordered the Amboli police station to conduct an inquiry against actor Shraddha Kapoor and one of the producers of the Bollywood movie Haseena Parkar on allegations related to cheating and criminal breach of trust.

The allegations were levelled by a Dadar-based garment manufacturer, who claimed that the film producer did not promote his brand as part of the deal between them. The court asked the cops submit its report before February 15.

An Amboli police officer said, “We will have to call the producer and actress Shraddha Kapoor against whom the allegations have been made by the complainants. We will have to investigate with their other colleagues, as well as check documents related to the same issue. We will then submit the report in court , which will then take further decision in the matter.”

The criminal complaint has been filed against Shraddha, for allegedly not promoting fashion label ‘AJTM’ during the promotional activities of the film, in violation of an agreement. The actor was not available for comment.

The firm, M&M Designs, which supplied dresses for the actor in the movie, had filed a private complaint against the producer and the actor.
