Vivek Oberoi files FIR with Mumbai Police alleging fraud of Rs. 1.54 crore by business partners
Mumbai/IBNS: Actor Vivek Oberoi has filed a fraud case against at least three of his business partners for allegedly defrauding him of Rs 1.55 crore.
According to reports, Oberoi alleged that the accused asked him to invest in an event and film production firm promising good returns but used the money for themselves.
The MIDC police in Mumbai are investigating the matter and the incident came to light on Wednesday when the actor's chartered accountant filed a complaint against the trio.
His firm, Oberoi Mega Entertainment LLP, has authorised chartered accountant Deven Bafna to file a police complaint on his behalf against the accused partners of Anandita Entertainment LLP Sanjay Shah, Nandita Shah, Radhika Nanda and others.
The actor invested Rs. 1.55 crore in the project and the accused used the invested money for themselves, said reports.
The actor's wife-Priyanka Oberoi was also a partner in the firm, the police said.
A first information report (FIR) has been registered against the three under Indian Penal Code sections 34 (common intention), 409 (criminal breach of trust), 419 (cheating by personation) and 420 (cheating).
A probe into the matter has been initiated.
