About five months after the case was registered, the accused was arrested from Bengaluru and presented in court on Tuesday. The court remanded Shetty to police custody till July 10. Juhu Police have registered a case and arrested Vedika Prakash Shetty under Sections 316(4) and 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). After committing the fraud, Vedika absconded.
She is accused of forging Alia’s signature and committing fraud of Rs. 76.9 lakh over a period of two years.
As per media reports, Shetty worked as Alia’s secretary from 2021 to 2024. During this time, she handled the star’s financial documents and payments and planned her schedule.
No comments have been made from the actress yet on the issue. Meanwhile, Alia is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film Alpha, where she will be seen playing a spy. (IANS)
