Soon after Raj Kundra got arrested in a porongraphy case, Sherlyn Chopra levelled serious allegations against Raj and his wife, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. She also filed an FIR against Raj, accusing him of “sexual harassment and criminal intimidation”. Shilpa and Raj’s legal team had recently issued a warning to Sherlyn of a defamation case. However, since Sherlyn hasn’t backed off, Shilpa and Raj’s lawyers have now filed Rs 50 crore defamation case against Sherlyn for “falsely” accusating the celebrity couple.
“The entire allegations made by Ms Sherlyn Chopra against Mr Raj Kundra and Ms Shilpa Shetty Kundra, are concocted, false, fake, frivolous, baseless, without any evidence, even to Ms Sherlyn Chopra’s knowledge, and have been made with an ulterior motive to defame and extort money”, reads the statement by Shilpa and Raj’s legal team as quoted by ETimes.
Further clarifying Shilpa’s involvement in the controversial JL Stream App, the legal team has argued, “It is nothing but an audacious attempt by Ms Sherlyn to drag Ms Shilpa Shetty’s name to create unwanted controversy and gain media attention. The allegations are nothing but an afterthought, wherein Ms Sherlyn Chopra, is arraigned as an Accused, in C.R. No. 02/2020, Nodal Cyber Police Station”.
According to the lawsuit filed by Shilpa and Raj, Sherlyn has committed offences u/s 499, 550, 389 and 195(A), of Indian Penal Code, 1860. “We have put a defamation of Rs 50 crore against Sherlyn Chopra”, concluded the statement.
It’s left to see how will Sherlyn respond to this lawsuit.
