Bollywood Actor Shreyas Talpade Among 13 Booked in Uttar Pradesh Fraud Case

Mumbai. A complaint has been registered against popular Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade and 12 other associated members for fraud. The complaint was filed at Bhogaon police station in Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, alleging that a large sum of money was swindled under the guise of investment.

According to an ANI report, the complaint, registered on February 10, claims that actor Talpade lured people and misappropriated lakhs of rupees. A victim from Bhogaon alleged that Shreyas and his team misled villagers by promising to open a branch of a prestigious Mumbai bank in Bhogaon's Mishrana Mohalla and assured high returns on investment.

Many villagers invested their earnings, trusting the actor's face and credibility, but it was later revealed that the bank itself was fake. Following this incident, the court took the matter seriously and ordered the police to conduct a detailed investigation. In the complaint, Shreyas is named as the 'Marketing Advisor,' and names such as Sameer Agarwal, Saniya Agarwal, and RK Shetty, among many others, are mentioned alongside him.

This is not the first time Shreyas Talpade has been embroiled in a fraud controversy. Previously, in 2025, he faced allegations of defrauding people of crores. A woman named Babli from Mitli village had filed a complaint against Shreyas, Alok Nath, and 22 others.

At that time, Shreyas, who was the brand ambassador for a company, was accused of cheating nearly 500 people by promising to double their money. Complaints against him regarding chit fund scams were also registered in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Haryana that same year.

With his name repeatedly surfacing in disputes involving fraud and financial irregularities, questions are being raised about Shreyas's image in Bollywood circles. The actor, who makes audiences laugh with his on-screen performances, is currently under stress due to legal complications.

The police have begun gathering evidence regarding the involvement of all individuals named in the complaint, and if found guilty, they are likely to face severe legal penalties.
