Shilpa Shetty Responds After Section 420 Charges in Rs 60 Crore Fraud Case: 'We Categorically Deny the Baseless Allegations'

Bengaluru police filed cases after a viral CCTV showed late-night activity at Bastian Garden City, co-owned by Shilpa Shetty, who denies the allegations and filed a quashing petition.

  • This past week Bengaluru police registered cases against two pubs, including Bastian Garden City co-owned by Shilpa Shetty, alleging they operated beyond permitted hours.
  • Following the viral clip, authorities intensified scrutiny of the venue as a CCTV footage from around 1.30 am on December 11 shows a heated verbal exchange, and the Income Tax Department raided the Bastian outlet near Church Street.
  • On Wednesday, Shetty denied charges, stating `We categorically deny the baseless and motivated allegations being circulated...` and that a Quashing Petition is pending before the Hon'ble High Court.
  • Bastian Hospitality operates the outlet and its founder is Ranjit Bindra, businessman, while Shilpa Shetty Kundra says the dispute is civil, not criminal.
  • Shetty has also denied separate EOW allegations involving a Rs. 60 crore fraud complaint, categorically rejecting claims that the Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing invoked Section 420 against her and Raj Kundra.
