Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra are facing serious legal trouble after the Mumbai Police issued a Lookout Circular (LOC) against them in a multi-crore financial fraud case.
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) is investigating the matter based on an FIR filed at Juhu Police Station on 14 August 2025. The complaint was registered by Mumbai-based businessman Deepak Kothari.
According to the FIR, Deepak Kothari alleged that he gave ₹60 crore to the couple between 2015 and 2023 as loans and investments. However, the amount was allegedly used for their personal expenses.
Due to their frequent international travel, the EOW issued a lookout notice to prevent them from possibly leaving the country. The LOC alerts immigration officers to stop the accused at any airport or border checkpoint.
A lookout notice is typically issued to ensure the accused remains available for investigation or trial and cannot evade legal procedures.
This is not the first time the couple has been embroiled in controversy. Raj Kundra was previously arrested in 2021 in connection with the production and distribution of adult content on OTT platforms.
Shilpa Shetty, who had kept a low profile during that time, is now linked to this latest financial case. Her lawyer, Prashant Patil, stated that the issue is civil in nature and does not involve any criminal intent.
Meanwhile, Shilpa announced that her Bandra-based restaurant, Bastian, will be shutting down. She called it “the end of an era,” adding to the emotional toll of the current situation.
As investigations continue, this incident serves as a reminder of the darker side of celebrity life, far removed from the glamour of the film industry.
