Shreyas Talpade gets relief
Actor Shreyas Talpade has found himself in the center of controversy yet again as new update about his chit fund scam has surfaced. The actor was booked by Jammu and Kashmir police in March this year. A fraud case was registered against him and 14 others for allegedly duping hundreds of villagers through a lucrative chit fund scheme. Now, the Supreme Court in an interim order passed on Monday, granted protection from arrest to the actor.
A Bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and KV Viswanathan issued notices to the states of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, as well as to the Centre and posted the writ petition filed by Shreyas Talpade — seeking direction to club multiple FIRs and transfer of the investigation to Lucknow— for further hearing on August 29. In the meantime, the Justice Nagarathna-led Bench ordered that no coercive steps would be taken against the petitioner in connection with the alleged fraud cases.
