After a case of fraud was registered against Sonakshi Sinha in Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh, the Bollywood actress’ management agency on Sunday said the organiser is using the media to release false and manipulated facts and that if he doesn’t stop at this, Sonakshi and her team will be forced to take legal action.
Police said on Sunday that four others have been named in the complaint alleging that the actress along with four others – Malvika Punjabi, Dhumil Thakkar, Edgar Sakaria and Abhishek Sinha, have defrauded the complainant of 32 lakhs.
In the police complaint, Pramod Sharma has said that an amount of 32 lakhs had been transferred to Sonakshi’s account for her presence at an event but she did not turn up.

Accusing the police of inaction, Sharma had consumed poison recently but was saved.
A police official said that they have registered a case after a probe into the matter and the organiser was trying to unnecessarily exert pressure on them by acts like consuming poison. The official told IANS that the India Fashion and Beauty Award programme had been organised on September 30 last year.
Talent Full On Company was roped in for the event and after talking to the private secretary of Sonakshi, 32 lakhs was deposited in her account. At the last minute however, Sonakshi cancelled her appearance causing losses to the organiser.
On learning about the “misinformation” doing the rounds, Sonakshi’s management agency released an official statement on Sunday: “Sonakshi was approached by the event organiser in Delhi to attend an event. However, despite repeated reminders, the organiser failed to make the payments to Sonakshi before the event as contracted.
