My bank accounts were seized last month after a random company claimed that we owe them Rs 200 crore. While the case is in court, we don’t have money to eat,” said Ashesh Mehta, who along with his wife Shivangi, is named in a drugs case in Madhya Pradesh. While they insist it’s a frame-up, an alleged drug trafficker claimed he transported drugs for the couple. The man, a driver, was caught after Chhattisgarh police found a truck full of marijuana in 2021. 

The Mehtas have been in hiding since the Madhya Pradesh police arrived in the city last month to question them in a case they filed after nabbing an alleged drug courier, identified as Nisar Khan, 39, on June 6. Khan told the cops that he was delivering the 142 gram of mephedrone (MD) worth Rs 17 lakh for the Mehtas.
