Actor Shreyas Talpade has found himself entangled in a fresh legal controversy, with a new fraud case filed against him and 14 others in Uttar Pradesh. The case involves a multi-crore chit fund scam that is alleged to have operated in Mahoba district for over a decade.
According to IANS, the accused were allegedly connected to The Loni Urban Multistate Credit and Thrift Cooperative Society Limited, a company that lured villagers with promises of high returns on investments. The company’s agents reportedly collected large sums from locals, assuring them that their investments would double in a short span of time.
However, when questions arose about the legality of the scheme, the agents are said to have abruptly shut down operations and vanished from the district. As a result, a case has been registered at the Srinagar Police Station in Mahoba, and investigations are underway.
This is not the first time Shreyas Talpade has faced legal challenges related to financial fraud. Earlier this year, in February, an FIR was filed against him and veteran actor Alok Nath in Lucknow for allegedly duping investors of Rs 9 crore. The complaint was lodged at the Gomti Nagar Police Station. Furthermore, both actors were previously named in a multi-level marketing fraud case in Sonipat, Haryana, along with several others. As of now, Shreyas Talpade has not made any public comment on the latest allegations.
Despite the ongoing legal issues, Shreyas Talpade remains busy with his acting career. He is set to appear in Welcome To The Jungle, a comedy film featuring a star-studded ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Arshad Warsi, and Paresh Rawal. Additionally, he will also be part of Housefull 5, a major Bollywood project with an impressive cast led by Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, and more.
