EXCLUSIVE: Raj Kundra reacts on the cheating FIR filed against him and Shilpa: Vendor owes us money
Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty are in the line of fire as a vendor filed a cheating FIR against them. Raj mentioned to Pinkvilla that he will sue the vendor.
Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty are in the news today for the wrong reasons. The Mumbai police booked the husband and wife for allegedly cheating a textile firm owner of Rs 24lakhs. This is in connection with their online shopping TV show Best Deal.
The complaint was filed by Ravi Mohanlal Bhalotia, who said in his statement, "They bought bedsheets worth Rs 1.5 crore from me in 2015. I handed over the items to them, for which they paid Rs 1.44 crore in January 2016. When I approached them, they made several false promises and convinced me to give them another consignment of bedsheets worth Rs 18 lakh in July 2016. But they never paid me for it"
However, when approached, Raj Kundra denied the allegations. He said to Pinkvilla, "The vendor is misusing his connections in various stations. We have tight contracts signed and on the contrary this vendor owes us money for not fulfilling orders. Best deal is unfortunately being wound up due to the business failing and we are following the laws of the land to close the various matters properly."
He added, "We are filing a case against the vendor tomorrow and my legal team will go and meet the officials who have registered this bogus case."
Well, what do you think of that?
Raj also tweeted about the issue. He wrote, "It is the duty of the cops registering a case to check contracts and if they had they would not have registered this fake case! #sad!! Sadly It's so easy to register FIR's in India, a complete misuse of power by a crooked vendor #bhalotia who owes best deal money!Will counter."
