Vivek Oberoi

A fraud case has been filed on behalf of actor Vivek Oberoi and his wife Priyanka against at least three of Vivek’s business associates for allegedly robbing him of Rs 1.55 crore. Oberoi claims that the defendant persuaded the actor to invest money in a company that produces events and movies by promising him significant financial rewards. The accused, however, eventually exploited the funds for improper self-gain.

Based on the charges, the MIDC police on Wednesday filed a cheating case.

Sanjay Saha, his mother Nandita Saha, and Radhika Nanda are among those charged with producing films and organising events. According to their accountant Deven Bafna, who filed the lawsuit on their behalf, the actor and his wife were planning to launch an events firm that specialised in planning events for the film industry and movie production.

In 2017, The Oberois started a business called Oberoi Organics. Since it wasn’t performing too well, they planned to first add the three suspects as partners in the company, dissolve it, and then rebrand it as Anandita Entertainment, according to Bafna’s testimony to the police. He said that the two parties reached an agreement on this contract in July 2020.

After a few months, Oberoi made the decision to transfer his interests to Oberoi Mega Entertainment, another business he owned, according to the complaint. Sanjay Saha and Radhika Nanda were tasked with managing the joint venture’s day-to-day operations, according to the statement.

Oberoi was made aware of the mismanagement of cash within the enterprise by a worker in April 2022, following which Bafna’s services were used to resolve the issues. He then learned that Sanjay Saha had utilised business funds for a number of personal expenses, including covering his mother’s life insurance payment. Nanda had also taken money out of the business, according to a MIDC police officer.

According to the account statements, the two partners had syphoned off more than 58 lakh, he claimed. Oberoi then challenged his companions.

Additionally, he demanded an explanation from them about another alleged fraud in which they were charged with defrauding actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui of Rs 51 lakh, which Oberoi had reimbursed on the firm’s behalf from his own accounts.
