Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra claim ‘no criminality involved' in Rs 60 cr cheating case filed against them: ‘Nothing but baseless and malicious'
Actor Shilpa Shetty and her businessman-husband Raj Kundra have issued a statement through their lawyer after a case was filed against them for allegedly cheating a businessman of over Rs 60 crore. The complaint, filed by businessman Deepak Kothari, director of Lotus Capital Financial Services Ltd, claims the incident took place between 2015 and 2023. 'My clients have been informed by certain segment of electronic and print media that there is an alleged case registered against my clients at the Economic offence wing , Mumbai. At the outset , my clients deny all the allegations against my clients which are purely civil in nature and have been adjudicated by the NCLT Mumbai on 04/10/2024. This is an old transaction , wherein the company went in to financial distress and eventually got entangled in a long legal battle at the NCLT,' said Advocate Prashant Patil, who's representing the celebrity couple in the matter. Kothari alleged that the couple took the money under the pretext of expanding their business but used it for personal expenses instead. According to him, in 2015, Shetty and Kundra approached him through a mediator seeking a Rs 75 crore loan for their company, Best Deal TV Pvt Ltd, which promoted lifestyle products and ran an online shopping platform. The proposed interest rate was 12%. Later, they reportedly asked him to provide the funds as an 'investment' instead of a loan, assuring him of monthly returns and repayment of principal. Kothari claimed he transferred Rs 31.95 crore in April 2015 under a share subscription agreement, and another Rs 28.53 crore in September 2015 under a supplementary agreement. The total amount was credited to Best Deal TV's bank accounts. Repeated attempts to recover the funds allegedly failed, and Kothari accused the couple of 'dishonestly using' the money for personal benefit. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) is currently conducting a detailed investigation into the financial transactions, agreements, and the alleged misappropriation of funds. 'There is no criminality involved, and our auditors have submitted all the necessary supporting documents from time to time, as requested by the EOW, including detailed cash flow statements. The investment agreement in question is purely in the nature of an equity investment,' argued Patil, adding, 'The company has already received a liquidation order, which has also been placed before the police department . The concerned Charter accounts have visited the police station for last one year for more than 15 times with all the evidence supporting the claims of my clients.'

On the work front, Shetty will be next seen in Prem's Kannada action film KD: The Devil, slated to release in cinemas on September 4. Meanwhile, Kundra was last seen as a contestant on Prime Video India's reality show The Traitors earlier this year.

Deepak Nitrite shares slipped 4.3 per cent on Wednesday, August 14, 2025, logging an intra-day low at ₹1,785 per share on BSE. The selling pressure on the counter came after the company posted its Q1 results. At 11:59 AM, Deepak Nitrite share price was trading 2.55 per cent lower at ₹1,824.85 per share. In comparison, the Sensex was 0.1 per cent higher at 80,617.55. Deepak Nitrite Q1 results The company reported a net profit of ₹112.2 crore for Q1FY26, compared to ₹202.54 crore in the year-ago period, down 44 per cent. Revenue from operations rose 66.3 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to ₹1,889.88 crore in Q1FY26 from ₹2,166.84 crore in Q1FY25, down 12.7 per cent.

Ebitda margins stood at 11 per cent, as compared to 15 per cent a year ago. "The chemical industry faced a challenging environment in Q1 FY26, primarily driven by a global economic deceleration and continued oversupply from China. This resulted in pricing pressure and compressed margins across various product lines," the company said in a statement. The agrochemicals segment, in particular, saw a slower-than-expected recovery, especially in Europe, amid cautious purchasing behaviour from global customers. These factors, combined with evolving geopolitical tensions and sluggish demand in major economies, created a volatile backdrop. Check List of Q1 results today Deepak Nitrite management outlook The company said that various initiatives are underway to enhance the margins, like cost optimisation, digital transformation, new product variants, and capacity enhancement, which will drive sustainable growth and long-term profitability. It added: The company is well-positioned for a stable performance going forward, driven by the anticipated recovery in agrochemicals and the strategic ramp-up of new capacities.

IOC share price dips ahead of Q1 results. How to trade Maharatna PSU stock now?
IOC share price: Shares of public sector undertaking (PSU), Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC), traded with a mild cut ahead of the Q1 results announcement for the financial year 2025-26 (FY26). The Maharatna PSU stock declined over 1% to hit the day's low of ₹ 140.75 on the BSE. IOC share price opened marginally higher than the last closing price at ₹ 142.55 apiece. But it soon erased gains and traded marginally lower. The fall came despite expectations of a sharp surge in IOC's Q1 profit. Domestic brokerages see up to 275% despite a decline in net sales on a year-on-year (YoY) basis. IOC's EBITDA is expected to grow significantly compared to last year and last quarter. However, its profit margin from refining (GRM) may go down this quarter because it benefited from some unusual gains earlier that won't happen again. Brokerage Kotak Institutional Equities expects IOC's Q1 FY26 PAT to grow 276% YoY to ₹ 9944.4 crore, compared with ₹ 2643.2 crore posted in the corresponding quarter a year ago. Meanwhile, the figure could grow 37% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ). Net sales could decline 6.2% YoY and 7% QoQ to ₹ 1,81,324.7 crore during the quarter under review. The brokerage said that although oil prices dropped 11-12% QoQ in this quarter, the government's increase in fuel taxes had only a small effect. The rise in domestic LPG prices helped balance things out, it added. Meanwhile, Emkay Global sees a 159% YoY rise in IOC's Q1 profit to ₹ 6852.1 crore while it expects sales to decline by 10% to ₹ 173,897.5 crore during the said period. It expects core GRM of $7.5/bbl and reported GRM of $5.0/bbl, with blended marketing margin at ₹ 8.9/kg, up from ₹ 6.3/kg in Q4. The total sales volume could rise to 3% YoY to 26.1 MMT. According to Anshul Jain, Head of Research, Lakshmishree Investment, post a 143-day cup-and-handle breakout, IOC stock is retesting its base breakout and currently trading slightly below the breakout neckline. 'The earlier move to the upside was supported by higher volumes, while the present pullback is unfolding on lower volumes — a classic sign of a healthy bullish retracement. This pattern suggests that selling pressure is limited and that buyers may soon regain control,' said Jain. The 135–140 zone presents a strong accumulation opportunity for positional longs, with the potential for an upside move toward 171.65 in the coming weeks, he advised.
