On the other hand, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra have denied the allegations. Their lawyer, Prashant Patil, has termed the allegations as "baseless and malicious". The lawyer said, "This is an old transaction, due to which the company got into financial crisis and ultimately got entangled in a long legal battle in NCLT. There is no criminal case in this, and our auditors have submitted all the necessary supporting documents, including detailed cash flow statements, on the request of the Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) from time to time". 

Raj Kundra has visited more than 15 police stations

He further added, "The investment agreement being talked about is purely of equity investment nature. 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 more than 15 times in the last one year with all the evidence supporting the claims of my clients."
