Udaipur Court Sends Vikram Bhatt and Wife to Judicial Custody After Bail Plea Rejected

Police say the case stems from a film-financing deal tied to a proposed biopic.

Overview

  • The court denied the couple’s request for interim bail on medical grounds and ordered their transfer to Central Jail in Udaipur, according to DSP Suryaveer Singh.
  • Rajasthan Police arrested Vikram Bhatt and Shwetambari in Mumbai on December 7 and a local court later remanded them to seven days of police custody.
  • An FIR registered on November 17 alleges the accused siphoned over ₹30 crore using false assurances about film production and forged bills.
  • Complainant Dr Ajay Murdia of the Indira Group alleges a May 2024 ₹47 crore agreement for four films and claims he was promised returns of up to ₹200 crore.
  • The case names the Bhatt couple along with six others, and Vikram Bhatt has publicly disputed the allegations as misleading while the investigation continues.
