Couple dupes Akshaye Khanna of Rs50 lakh

October 20, 2013

Akshaye_KhannaMumbai, Oct 20: The Malabar Hill police lodged a complaint against a couple who allegedly duped actor Akshaye Khanna to the tune of Rs50 lakh by promising to invest and double his money in the commodities market. No arrests have been made in the case so far. The police are also on the lookout for an unknown person who was the duo’s accomplice.

The police said they have registered a complaint by Khanna’s advocate Rajendra Dhuru on instructions from the actor.

According to the police, the actor met the accused couple, Satyabratu Chakraborty and Sona Chakraborty, the president and director of a company called Intact Imijet Pvt. Ltd, a few years ago.

The couple told Khanna that they dealt with the commodities market. The duo lured Khanna into investing his money into the commodities market by promising to double his investment. The couple resides at Lokhandwala Complex in Andheri (West). Most of the transactions and meetings were done at an office, allegedly run by the couple in a building near Hanging Garden in Malabar Hill.

Since August 2010, the police said Khanna gave the duo Rs 50lakh but he received neither the interest nor the money. The actor decided to approach the police after several attempts to get in touch with the couple and get his money back proved unsuccessful.

A case of cheating has been registered against the duo, the police said. Considering the amount involved, the case had been transferred to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) and further investigation is on. “The Malabar Hill police has only registered a case soon after which the inquiry was handed over to the EOW. Whether the company is registered and still functional is to be found out,” said a senior police officer.

It’s all about money, honey

New Delhi Apr 10:  Actor Salman Khan on Friday thanked people for staying indoors and shared two pictures, first showing Bada Qabaristan's (graveyard) gate which has been closed due to lockdown and the second was of an empty street in Mumbai.

The actor thanked the people for listening to the guidelines and understanding the gravity of this situation amid the 21-day government-imposed lockdown in view of coronavirus outbreak. The tweet by 'Dabangg' actor came soon after the conclusion of Shab-e-Barat.

Shab-e-Barat is observed as a day of forgiveness or atonement in Islam and leads to congregations at graveyards and religious places.

The 54-year-old actor took to Twitter and wrote, "Wah! Thank u for listening n understanding the gravity of this situation the country is in. God bless n protect each n every 1.

Over the past few days, appeals were made to the Muslim community from several quarters to not venture out of their houses to pray on Shab-e-Barat in view of the COVID-19 lockdown.

Earlier, the 'Tiger Zinda Hai' star shared his lockdown experience in a video message with nephew Nirvaan and urged people to take the government's advisory of self-isolation seriously amid the rising cases of coronavirus in the country.

Mar 11: The shooting of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai has been completed, and the film will now release on schedule.

If one recalls, the film went on the floors in the first week of November 2019 and was supposed to be Salman’s fastest completed film. However, the movie faced a variety of roadblocks — It was first to be wrapped in the first week of February, “But Salman went off to his Panvel farmhouse after the release of Dabangg 3 and spent a while there ushering in his birthday,” a source reveals.

“Then, the extension of the show Bigg Boss 13 by five weeks also turned out to be another speed breaker. Then, Salman wanted to make sure that the film was being made as good as what his audiences wanted on Eid. He made sure that his director Prabhudeva got what he wanted from the performers and didn’t want to rush him.

"Additionally, the Azerbaijan schedule of the film also got cancelled as Salman did not want to take any chances with the cast and crew with the lurking Covid 19, and rescheduled the shoot in India. This is now complete, barring any patchwork that might emerge later,” our source adds.

Radhe is slated to be an Eid release, which will clash with Akshay Kumar’s Laxmmi Bomb.
