**Bombay High Court Demands ₹60 Crore Deposit to Consider Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra’s Plea to Travel Abroad**
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday demanded a ₹60 crore deposit to consider the plea filed by actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra seeking permission to travel abroad, according to reports by news agencies.
This order comes after the couple approached the High Court to quash a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued against them in connection with an FIR relating to an alleged ₹60 crore fraud case.
**Details of the Fraud Case Against Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty**
The case originates from a complaint filed by businessman Deepak Kothari, who accused Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra of inducing him to invest ₹60 crore in their now-defunct venture, Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd, between 2015 and 2023. Kothari alleged that the funds were later diverted for personal use.
Raj Kundra has already been questioned by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police. The LOC against the couple was issued at the request of the EOW.
On Tuesday, Shilpa Shetty was questioned by EOW officials for approximately four and a half hours in connection with the ₹60 crore fraud case.
**What Was the Couple’s Plea?**
In their petition, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra claimed that Shilpa resigned from the company in 2016. They emphasized the need to travel abroad for professional commitments and argued that denying them this opportunity would amount to a violation of their fundamental rights.
The Bombay High Court’s demand for a ₹60 crore deposit highlights the seriousness of the case as it continues to unfold.
