Filmmaker Bhatt Arrested in Rs 30 Cr Cheating Scandal

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and his wife Shwetambari Bhatt were arrested in Mumbai on Sunday in connection with a Rs 30 crore cheating case registered in Udaipur. The case involves allegations that the couple induced Udaipur-based IVF specialist Dr. Ajay Murdia to invest significantly in film projects that were never completed.

According to the complaint, the Bhatts and other associates promised high returns on investments for a biopic and other films, but investigators claim funds were siphoned off through fake vendor bills and inflated expenses. The couple has been granted transit remand until December 9th to be brought to Rajasthan for questioning.

While the Bhatts' lawyers allege high-handedness by the police, authorities have secured transit remand to proceed with the investigation. The case remains under probe as financial documents related to the film deal are being examined.
