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

Mumbai, Jul 28: Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Manoj Tiwari has urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to look into the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death and direct the state police to register an FIR in this connection.

Wishing Thackeray on Monday on his birthday, Tiwari, who has acted in Bhojpuri films, pointed out that over 40 days have passed since the death of Rajput, but an FIR is yet to be registered.

"Many happy returns of the Day @CMOMaharashtra Shri Uddhav Ji, on this day I request with folded hands to give justice to Sushant who died 43 days ago, but no FIR has been registered so far. I hope you will help. Please do justice to millions of SSR fans," he tweeted.

Bollywood actor Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14, which the police said was a case of suicide. His death had triggered an outcry from several quarters alleging that the late actor, who hailed from Bihar, was a victim of nepotism in the film industry.

The lawmaker from Northeast Delhi's Lok Sabha seat, who visited the deceased actor's family in Patna last month had then said: "Sushant's father and sister requested me to take up the issue and get him justice. It was really a sentimental moment for me".

Previously, Tiwari had demanded a CBI investigation into the matter

According to the police, statements of 40 people including film critic Rajeev Masand, director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and filmmaker Aditya Chopra and actor Rhea Chakraborty have been recorded in the investigation so far.
