The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police recently recorded the statement of businessman Raj Kundra, husband of actress Shilpa Shetty, according to reports. The businessman, who has been named in a Rs 60 crore financial scam, was questioned for nearly five hours by the officials. Additionally, officials said Kundra is likely to be summoned again next week.

Raj Kundra questioned by EOW

During the preliminary statement, Kundra allegedly admitted that nearly Rs 60 crore was invested across five companies, namely, Satyug Gold, Vihaan Industries, Essential Bulk Commodities Pvt Ltd, Best Deal, and Statement Media. The investigators suspect that these funds were diverted to related parties and siphoned off for frivolous expenses. According to EOW, the next interrogation with Raj may take place next week. Meanwhile, statements of more witnesses are yet to be investigated and verified. The next round of interrogation is expected to start only after thoroughly scrutinising the statements of the witnesses.
