Raj Kundra was questioned by Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing for five hours on September 15 regarding a Rs 60 crore fraud case. During interrogation, he admitted investing Rs 60 crore across five companies named Satyug Gold, Vihaan Industries, Essential Bulk Commodities, Best Deal, and Statement Media though investigators suspect fund diversion. Kundra was questioned about Rs 3.15 crore warehouse expenses, Rs 20 crore broadcast costs, Rs 4 crore celebrity salary payments, and transactions with Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms. The case involves complainant Deepak Kothari alleging fraud between 2015-2023 through Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd. Kundra and wife Shilpa Shetty's lawyer called allegations "baseless and malicious," citing NCLT proceedings and liquidation orders. More summons expected. (PC: Lokmat Times)
