Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and his wife, Shwetambari Bhatt, were arrested by Udaipur Police in Mumbai on Sunday in connection with a Rs 30 crore fraud case. The complaint was filed by Dr Ajay Murdia, founder of Indira IVF, who alleged he was lured into a film project with promises of massive returns that never materialized. Police said the couple, along with others, prepared inflated documents and fake bills to siphon funds.

According to investigators, Dr Murdia had signed a deal in May 2024 for four films, including a biopic on his late wife. While two films were reportedly completed, the remaining projects never moved forward. Police allege the accused diverted around Rs 30 crore using forged documents. The couple’s lawyers claim the arrest was improper and that the Bhatts were pressured into signing undated papers.
