Case of fraud filed against Bollywood actress Sonakshi
Sinha in UP
Lucknow, Feb 24. A case of fraud has been
registered against Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha in Moradabad district of
Uttar Pradesh.
This information was given by an official spokesman of the
police on Sunday.
Four others have also been named in the police complaint
alleging that the actress along with four others — Malvika Punjabi, Dhumil
Thakkar, Edgar Sakaria and Abhishek Sinha — have defrauded the complainant of
Rs 32
lakh.
In the police complaint, Pramod Sharma has said that an
amount of Rs 32 lakh had been transferred to Sonakshi’s account for her
presence at an event but she did not turn up.
Accusing the police of inaction, Sharma had consumed poison
recently but was saved.
A police official said that they have registered a case
after a probe into the matter and the organiser was trying to unnecessarily
exert pressure on them by acts like consuming poison.
The official told agency that the India Fashion and Beauty
Award programme had been organised on September 30 last year.
Talent Full On Company was roped in for the event and
after talking to the private secretary of Sonakshi, Rs 32 lakh
was deposited in her account. At the last minute however, Sonakshi cancelled
her appearance causing losses to the organisers.
