Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and his wife arrested in Rs 30 crore IVF fraud case: Report<\/p>\n

According to the FIR registered at Bhupalpura police station in Udaipur, Dr. Murdia alleges that Bhatt, his wife, their daughter, and several associates persuaded him to invest over Rs 30 crore in multiple film projects, including a biopic based on his late wife’s life. The promoters allegedly promised returns as high as Rs 200 crore.<\/p>\n

The complaint states that after initial funds were disbursed in instalments, several of the promised film projects stalled mid-way, while a few released \u00a0but without giving Dr. Murdia the agreed credits or returns.\u00a0 The FIR names eight accused in total: Vikram Bhatt, Shwetambari Bhatt, their daughter, and associates including a co-producer and additional intermediaries.<\/p>\n

Vikram Bhatt has strongly denied the allegations. In a statement to media, he called the FIR \u201cmisleading,\u201d suggesting the documents submitted might be forged. He said he was unaware of the complaint until recently. Bhatt claimed production had halted only after Dr. Murdia stopped funding, and said he has \u201cproof, including contracts and communications,\u201d to support his innocence.<\/p>\n

Investigators from Rajasthan and Mumbai police are now scrutinising bank statements, contractual agreements, and communications tied to the alleged investments and film projects. Authorities have indicated that further arrests could follow as the probe deepens.<\/p>\n
