FIR filed against comedian Kiku Sharda in an alleged cheating case

Television actor Kiku Sharda who is currently seen in The Kapil Sharma Show has landed in legal trouble as an art director Nitin Kulkarni has filed a police complaint against Kiku and six others from the charitable trust called The Mumbai Fest.

Kulkarni has filed a complaint for allegedly cheating him of Rs 50.70 lakh.

However, Kiku who is a promoter of the trust has denied his involvement and claimed that he has no connection. “I just attended the event like other celebrities did and I am not a member or a trustee of Mumbai Fest though my father is the secretary. My name has been dragged into this for no reason,” said Kiku Sharda.

FIR filed against comedian Kiku Sharda

Nitin Kulkarni has filed an FIR with the Amboli police. According to the police, Kulkarni, was assigned to design the set for Mumbai Fest, which was a three-day event held in January last year at the MMRDA ground in Bandra Kurla Complex. The complainant mentioned in the FIR that there was an agreement between him and the trust but he never received his copy of the document and wasn’t paid the money he was promised, which was Rs 50.70 lakh as the cheque he was given had bounced and he was left unpaid for his amount.

While talking about the same, a police officer informed the daily, “The dispute arose between the two parties due to some miscommunication about the due amount. After receiving a complaint we have registered an FIR and our probe is on. We will verify the claims made by both sides.”
