A case of fraud has come to light involving the daughter of former Uttarakhand Chief Minister and former Union Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank. Two Mumbai-based filmmakers duped former CM Ramesh Pokhriyal’s daughter Aarushi Nishank of Rs 4 crore in the name of investing in the production of a film and giving her a lead role in it. Realizing that she had been cheated, Aarushi Nishank lodged a complaint at the Kotwali police station.

Money demanded for investment in film

In her complaint, Aarushi Nishank said that Varun Pramod Kumar Bagla and Mansi Varun Bagla offered her a lead role in one of their Hindi films. Along with this, they also promised to give her a big share from the income from the film. For this, both of them lured her to invest Rs 5 crore in the production of the film.

Made an excuse of completing the shooting

The complaint states that trusting them, she gave Rs 2 crore to the accused through her firm ‘Himshri Films’. Later, she paid more money to the film producers in small amounts. In this way, she gave them a total of four crore rupees. He said that later the accused informed her that some other actress has been taken in her place in the film and its shooting has been completed in India. Realizing that she had been cheated, Aarushi asked the producers to return her money, but they refused to do so and also threatened her.

‘Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan’ film deceived

Sub-inspector Manmohan Singh Negi, who is investigating the case, said on Sunday that a case has been registered against the accused on the basis of the complaint lodged in this regard. A case has been registered against both the accused under various sections of extortion, cheating, fraud, criminal conspiracy and threat under the Indian Penal Code. He said that investigation of the case has been started. The film named ‘Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan’ in which Aarushi was offered a role, stars Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor in lead roles.
