Mumbai: Actor turned politician Ravi Kishan is said to have been duped of ₹ 3.25 crore by a Mumbai-based businessman.
Ravi Kishan had given the money to accused Jain Jitendra Ramesh in 2012. When nudged to return it, Ramesh allegedly handed him 12 cheques of ₹ 34 lakh each.
The actor, also the Lok Sabha MP from Gorakhpur, deposited one of the cheques at an SBI branch on December 7 last year but it bounced.
He continued talks with Ramesh for the money but did not get a satisfactory answer. Following this, a police complaint was lodged, his PRO Pawan Dubey said on Tuesday.
The cantonment police station in-charge Shashi Bhushan Rai said the complaint was lodged a few days ago, based on which a case has been registered.
