Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband Raj Kundra have been asked by the Bombay High Court to deposit Rs 60 crore if they plan to travel to foreign destinations. The court’s order came on Wednesday (October 8) as it heard the celebrity duo’s plea to quash a Look Out Circular (LOC) brought against them in a fraud case worth Rs 60 crore.
The accused couple had approached the high court after the LOC barred them from leaving the Indian shores, arguing that the case was premised on false allegations. Their plea came up for hearing on October 1 before a bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad that asked the concerned officials to submit their response affidavits.
