Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt’s former manager, Vedika Shetty, has been arrested by Juhu Police in connection with a Rs 77 lakh fraud case. The arrest comes nearly five months after Alia’s mother, Soni Razdan, filed a complaint against Shetty for financial misconduct.

According to police, Vedika allegedly forged Alia Bhatt’s signatures and siphoned off funds over a period of two years. The fraud reportedly involved unauthorised transactions amounting to Rs 77 lakh.

Shetty was tracked down and arrested from Bengaluru and later produced before a court in Mumbai. The investigation has been ongoing since the FIR was registered a few months ago following Soni Razdan’s complaint.

Authorities are now scrutinising the financial records to determine the full extent of the fraud and whether any other individuals were involved.
