Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade has landed in legal trouble after an FIR was registered against him and 12 others in Uttar Pradesh’s Mainpuri district over an alleged investment scam. The complaint claims that several villagers were cheated out of lakhs of rupees after being persuaded to put their money into a scheme that promised unusually high returns.

All about the case

According to reports, the accused allegedly promoted the investment as part of a Mumbai based banking venture that was said to be operating locally in the Bhogaon area. Residents were encouraged to invest their savings with assurances that the funds would multiply over time. However, when investors later attempted to withdraw their money, they were reportedly unable to do so, raising suspicions about the legitimacy of the operation. One of the affected individuals eventually approached the court, which directed the police to register a case and begin a formal investigation into the matter.
