Vivek Oberoi has been allegedly cheated by his 3 business partners who have defrauded him of 1.55 crore. Reportedly, the actor was asked to invest in an event and film production firm promising good returns but his partners used the money for themselves.

The incident came to light on Wednesday after the actor's chartered accountant Deven Bafna filed a complaint against the trio at the MIDC police station in Andheri (East). Dev informed the police that the two parties were supposed to start an events company specialising in organising events related to the film business as well as movie production.

While speaking to the police, Bafna stated, “The Oberois had floated a company named Oberoi Organics in 2017. Since it was not doing too well, they decided to first bring in the three accused as partners in the firm, then dissolve that business and convert it into an events business under the name of Anandita Entertainment."

According to Bafna, the business deal was struck between the two parties in July 2020. After which a few months down the line Oberoi decided to transfer his shares to another company that he owned, Oberoi Mega Entertainment. Sanjay Saha and Radhika Nanda were responsible for the daily operations of the company.

Adding to this said an officer from MIDC police said, "Oberoi was informed about the mishandling of funds within the venture by an employee in April 2022, after which the services of Bafna were taken to sort the issues out. He then found out that Sanjay Saha had used the company’s money for various personal reasons including paying the life insurance premium for his mother. Nanda, too, had withdrawn money from the company." He added, "More than 58 lacs had been siphoned off by the two partners as per the account statements, he added. Oberoi then confronted his partners.

Currently, the accused are being investigated and have been booked the accused under sections 406 (criminal breach of trust), 409 (dishonest misappropriation) and 420 (fraud) of the IPC.
