Vivek Oberoi files police complaint
The incident came to light when Vivek’s chartered accountant, Deven Bafna, filed a complaint with the Mumbai Police. As per PTI reports, Vivek and his wife Priyanka Alva had initially launched a company back in 2017. In an effort to turn things around, they decided to bring in new partners, including a film producer, with the aim of transforming the existing company into an events business.
Trusting his new associates, Vivek invested a substantial amount of Rs 1.55 crore into the event and film production project. However he later discovered that the funds he had invested had not been used for the intended purpose but instead siphoned off by the accused for their personal gain. The actor’s chartered accountant, upon uncovering the financial malpractice, promptly informed Vivek about the deceit.
