As per the reports, a team of Lucknow police is expected to reach Mumbai to interrogate the two in the alleged fraud case in the name of a wellness centre, reports India.com.

It is said that the two FIRs have been filed at Hazratgani and Vibhuti Khans police stations in Lucknow. 

As per police officials, Shilpa runs a fitness chain named ‘Iosis Wellness Centre’ whose chairman is the actor. Her mother Sunanda holds the director position in the company. It has been alleged that Shilpa and her mother took crores of money from two people in the name of opening a branch of the wellness centre but the promise was not kept by the mother-daughter duo. 

In a statement, DCP (East) Sanjeev Suman said that the investigation officer left for Mumbai on Monday and will be examining all the points in the case.

He further added that the matter is high-profile and hence, the police are closely looking into the case. 

On the other hand, the Bombay High Court on Saturday dismissed petitions filed by Shilpa’s husband Raj Kundra and his aide Ryan Thorpe challenging their arrest in a porn films case.  

“The petitioners, who are now in judicial custody, did not deserve any relief at this point,” Justice A S Gadkari said in the ruling.
