Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel leaves no chance to awe the internet with her sizzling photos and videos on social media. The actress, who is known for being fearless in front of the camera, appears to have gotten herself into legal trouble. In a fraud and check bounce case, a civil court in Ranchi issued a warrant on Thursday against Patel and her business partner, Krunal. She has been charged under sections 420 and 120 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
Ameesha Patel and her business partner were sued by Ajay Kumar Singh, a resident of Harmu in the Ranchi district. The complainant filed a cheating complaint, and the actress invited him to invest money in a film called Desi Magic, according to his complaint. Ajay Kumar Singh transferred Rs 2.5 crore to Ameesha’s bank account for the film’s production, publicity, and marketing. Despite the fact that filming began in 2013, the film has yet to be completed.
Ameesha delayed giving the checks after several attempts to contact the actress. She later gave him two checks for Rs 2.5 crore and Rs 50 lakh in October 2018. However, the checks bounced. According to India Today, neither Ameesha nor her lawyer appeared in court during the summons to maintain her position. As a result, the next hearing in the case has been set for April 15.
This is not the first time the Kaho Na Pyaar Hai actress has had trouble with the law. In 2021, her check of Rs 32.25 lakh to UTF Telefilms bounced. She borrowed the money to make a film, and a Bhopal court issued her with a bailable warrant.
