Legal Trouble for Alok Nath and Shreyas Talpade
This is not the first time both actors have been involved in legal issues. In January, another FIR was filed against them in Sonipat, Haryana, for cheating and breach of trust. The case is currently under investigation.
The Fraudulent Investment Scheme
The latest FIR includes charges related to fraudulent property transfers, with the accused facing sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The complaint, filed by Vipul Antil from Sonipat, states that the Human Welfare Credit Cooperative Society misled investors with promises of high returns from fixed deposits (FD) and recurring deposit (RD) schemes. However, the society allegedly operated through a multi-level marketing (MLM) model, where agents were rewarded for recruiting new investors.
Investigations Underway
Despite being a registered society, its suspicious activities have raised concerns. Investigations are ongoing to determine the involvement of the two Bollywood actors in the fraud. Authorities are working to uncover the full extent of the alleged scam.
Shreyas Talpade and Alok Nath's Work front
On the professional front, Shreyas Talpade was last seen in the movie Emergency, directed by Kangana Ranaut. Alok Nath, a well-known actor with a career spanning over three decades, has acted in more than 300 films since his debut in 1982.
