Shreyas Talpade, Alok Nath face cheating charges in Haryana, FIR filed against actors; Read on

Actors Shreyas Talpade and Alok Nath have been named in an FIR registered at Murthal police station in Haryana’s Sonipat district. The case, filed on 22 January, includes 13 accused under Sections 316(2), 318(2), and 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The charges involve allegations of criminal breach of trust, cheating, and property transfer through deceptive means.

According to Ajeet Singh, Additional Commissioner of Police (ACP) in Murthal, the two actors’ names were included in the complaint filed by the complainant. Singh explained that the primary allegation is against a society accused of duping individuals by luring them to invest money. He added that further investigation would determine the roles, if any, of Talpade and Nath.

The complaint was lodged by Sonipat resident Vipul Antil against the Human Welfare Credit Cooperative Society, which is registered in Indore under the Multi-State Cooperative Society Act, 2002. Antil alleged that the society, operational in various states, including Haryana, since 16 September 2016, had promised high returns on fixed deposit (FD) and recurring deposit (RD) schemes. It reportedly employed a multi-level marketing model, offering agents incentives for recruiting more investors.
