The scheme named ‘Satyug Gold’, allegedly assured investors of gold delivery at a fixed rate, regardless of market fluctuations.
Kothari, being one of the leading player in bullion market, claims to have been persuaded by the accused to investment a certain substantial amount in the scheme.
Despite of assurances from the Bollywood actress, her husband, and their associates, Kothari did not receive the promised gold at the time of its maturity. He has claimed of making an upfront payment of Rs. 90,38,600, which is supported by documents such as covering letter signed signed by Shilpa Shetty Kundra and an invoice issued by Satyug Gold Pvt. Ltd.
