Akshaye Khanna duped of Rs. 50 lakh

21 Oct 2013

In the past few months, many Bollywood stars have been falling prey to crimes like duping and underworld threats. Akshaye Khanna, who has been away from Bollywood for a while now, was being duped by a Bengali couple for about Rs. 50 lakh. The cheating case was registered recently at Malabar Hill Police Station after which it was transferred to the crime branch.

Apparently, the husband-wife duo, who bonded with the actor at a party, convinced him to invest Rs. 50 lakhs for their company Intex Innijet Private Limited. Moreover, they also promised Akshaye that his money will be doubled in a year. The actor waited for more than a year for his investment to double up but the couple, thereafter refused to answer his queries or respond to his calls. Now, the actor has filed a complaint against these frauds and ACP Rajvardhan Sinha recently revealed that there is enough evidence to register a case against the two.

The accused have been charged under Section 420 (cheating) and 120 (B) (conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code but are yet to be arrested.
