In another case, Leone received a reprieve when the Kerala High Court restrained the police from arresting her in the alleged Rs 29 lakh fraud case. Leone was allegedly supposed to show up at a Valentine’s Day event in 2019 that was being organised by R Shiyas, a native of Perumbavoor, Kerala, but failed to do so.
As per the complainant, the Bollywood actor failed to show up at the event despite accepting the lump sum amount for doing the show. However, the actor said she had visited the venue twice but the program was not being held.
