Lucknow, Aug 10, 2021: The Lucknow Police has decided to send teams to Mumbai to question actor Shilpa Shetty in connection with an alleged fraud case. The police are also expected to question her mother Sunanda Shetty.

 

The Lucknow Police is investigating two FIRs registered in the city against Iosis Wellness Centre last year. In the complaint, it has been alleged that staff of this wellness centre told their customers that Shilpa Shetty is its brand ambassador and would be present on its launch date.

Besides this, the customers were allegedly also promised that Shilpa Shetty would help promote the business.

However, after people took membership of the wellness centre and the launch day approached, the staff allegedly denied making its previous statement. Following this, two FIRs were lodged against Iosis Wellness Centre in Hazratganj and Vibhuti Khand police stations in Lucknow.

Shilpa Shetty and her mother have not been named in these FIRs. The Lucknow Police is sending two teams to Mumbai to question Shilpa Shetty. The first team has left for Mumbai while the second is likely to reach by next week.

On June 19 last year, Jyotsana Chauhan, a resident of Vibhuti Khand area in Lucknow filed an FIR against Iosis Wellness Centre alleging fraud. This FIR names Kiran Bava, Vinay Bhaseen, Anika Chaturvedi, Ishwarfeel, Navneet Kaur, Aasha and Poonam Jha as accused.

Jyotsana Chauhan had alleged that these people not only promised her that Shilpa Shetty was the brand ambassador of the wellness centre, but said she would also help in promoting the business.

The accused allegedly collected nearly Rs 2.5 crore from people in the name of procuring goods for the wellness centre.

A similar FIR was registered by one Rohit Vir Singh in Hazratganj police station.

In June this year, the police sent notices to Shilpa Shetty and her mother to record their statements in this case.
