Shilpa Shetty Calls Sachin Joshi's Gold Scam Allegations "Baseless"

Shilpa Shetty has called actor Sachiin Joshi's scam allegations against her and her businessman husband Raj Kundra "completely false". Earlier this year, Sachiin had filed a complaint against the couple, alleging that he was deceived by the gold trading company Satyug Gold, that was previously run by them. Sachiin claimed that he had purchased a kilo of gold in a gold scheme from the company.

Reacting to Joshi's allegations, Shetty told TOI, "All these allegations made by Sachin Joshi are completely false and baseless."

All orders have been fulfilled

Claiming that there were no irregularities in fulfilling orders at Satyug Gold, Shilpa said that all of her clients were satisfied and that their requirements have been met on time. "We have even deposited 1kg gold for which Sachiin Joshi is yet to pay the demurrage charges legally applicable. Not many know, we also have a cheque bouncing case in court against this serial defaulter," she told IANS, referring to Joshi. "If we didn't wish to give him the gold, we would not have it deposited it in court. The court has now appointed an arbitrator where we have presented the charges that are due and clearly mentioned on the invoice and website. The truth will be out real soon," she added.

Commenting on the complaint against the shareholders filed by Sachiin Joshi in January, she claimed it was very conveniently timed as it came "after his (Sachiin Joshi's) revision petition filed by him against the cheque bounce case gets declined by the Dindoshi court in October. Mr. Joshi now feels he has been defrauded after the court restrains him from collecting the gold and orders to keep the gold in the premises of the court till the arbitration is pending on the storage charges, apparently to which he rightly agreed while making the payment for gold in 2014," reported by Zee News.

"In the tenure of 1 year from the due date, Mr Joshi never once tried to contact the company for the collection, for which he feels defrauded by claims of security charges and penalty," the statement read.
