Alok Nath, Shreyas Talpade get interim protection in cheating case
Actors Alok Nath and Shreyas Talpade have been granted interim protection from arrest by the Supreme Court after being named in a cheating and breach of trust case.
Both are among 13 accused in a Haryana-based multi-marketing cooperative society scam, where investors were promised big returns that never came.
Investigation ongoing into whether actors were just celebrity promoters
The Supreme Court has told Haryana Police not to take any coercive steps against the petitioner until the next hearing.
The investigation is looking into whether Nath and Talpade were just celebrity promoters or actually involved in the scam.
Meanwhile, Talpade has asked for all related cases to be moved to Lucknow, since the first FIR was registered there and to consolidate related cases from Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.
The court's decisions will shape what happens next for everyone involved.
