A resident of Sector 38 (West) alleged that she was duped by wrestler-turned-actor Sangram Singh and producer Vinay Bhardwaj of ₹30 lakh in the name of making a movie on cricket superstar Sachin Tendulkar.
Acting on the complaint filed by Iram Khan, a resident of Sector 38(West), who has now shifted to Delhi, police registered a case under Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code at Maloya police station, after preliminary inquiry.
The woman, in her complaint lodged with senior superintendent of police (SSP,) Kuldeep Singh Chahal, said that Sangram Singh Chaudhary and Vinay Bhardwaj allured her to invest in their upcoming movie titled ‘God of Cricket’. She alleged that she was assured that a famous Bollywood producer will assist them, after which she invested ₹30 lakh on July 20, 2019. Khan alleged that the accused neither released any film and nor returned her money.
Khan had told the police that she had met the accused through one of her acquaintances in Delhi and later the deal was finalised in Chandigarh following which she made payment.
It may be mentioned that the movie “God of Cricket” is a film celebrating cricketer Sachin Tendulkar’s fandom. Sangram Singh had starred in the movie which is co-produced by Vinay Bhardwaj.
