Shatrughan Sinha Is Not Shocked Over Jaya Prada’s 6 Months Jail Sentence “She Is Very Capable Of Solving This Issue…”

Hours after the Egmore metropolitan magistrate court issued the six-month prison sentence to veteran film star Jaya Prada, her co-star Shatrughan Sinha has reacted to the ruling. For the unversed, the former Member of Parliament has been sentenced to jail in response to the allegations of failing to pay the Employees State Insurance (ESI) funds for the workers who were employed at a cinema theatre she owned in the city.

This comes following a formal complaint lodged by the theatre workers who asserted that Jaya Prada had neglected to fulfil their ESI financial obligations. They reported that even after ESI deductions were being made from their earnings, the funds were not being remitted to the state insurance corporation.

In response to the complaint, Jaya Prada and the trio of employees who were managing the theatre had also submitted a plea to the Madras High Court urging the court to halt the proceedings in the Egmore court. The actress also made an offer to settle the amount owed to the workers. However, the ESI lawyer raised objections to this proposal that eventually resulted in the six-month imprisonment sentence for the Bollywood actress. The actress hasn’t responded to this ruling yet.
