Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and his wife Shwetambari Bhatt have been granted interim bail by the Supreme Court of India in a high-profile cheating case involving allegations of misappropriation of funds totalling around Rs 30 crore. The order was passed on Friday by a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi, bringing temporary relief to the couple after more than two months in custody.

The case dates back to December 7, 2025, when the Rajasthan Police arrested the couple in connection with a complaint filed by Ajay Murdia, founder of Indira IVF and Fertility Centre in Udaipur. Murdia alleged that he had invested large sums in what was presented as a legitimate film project. He claimed that money was taken for the production of films but was allegedly diverted through fabricated bills and deposited into personal accounts rather than being used for filmmaking as promised.
