Rajasthan High Court Denies Bail to Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, Wife in Rs. 30 Crore Fraud Case
- •Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, his wife Shwetambari Bhatt, and two others were denied bail by the Rajasthan High Court in an alleged Rs. 30 crore fraud case.
- •Justice Vinod Kumar Bharwani observed that granting bail at this stage would not be appropriate due to an ongoing investigation and the need for further custodial interrogation.
- •The case stems from a complaint by Indira IVF founder Ajay Murdia, alleging misappropriation of funds meant for a film project, with fake bills used to divert money.
- •An FIR was registered in November 2025, leading to the arrests of Vikram Bhatt, his wife, Dinesh Kataria, and Mehboob Ansari from Mumbai on December 7.
- •Bhatt's lawyer argued that payments were consensual and denied fake bills, while the High Court had previously rejected a plea to quash the FIR, stating it involved prima facie misappropriation.
