Hrithik Roshan’s ex-wife Sussanne Khan, who is an interior designer and an entrepreneur, has been booked by Panaji police in Goa in cheating case worth Rs1.87 crore.
A property company in Goa, which had given a contract to Khan for her architectural and design services, is the complainant in this case. Managing partner of Emgee Properties, Mudhit Gupta alleged that Khan has falsely projected herself as an architect to secure the contract and a sum of Rs1.87 crore was disbursed to her.
As per the complainant, Khan had failed to deliver the project within the time period stipulated in the contract in their Naira Complex being constructed in North Goa. The complaint stated that when it was found that her work was not up to the expected standards of a professional architect, the company suspected that Khan was not in fact an architect as she had claimed.
When pressed to furnish details about her registration number with the Council of Architecture, Gupta alleged that Khan avoided giving them the number and finally, on inquiring with the council, the company learnt that she was not registered with it. Police sub-inspector Rashmi Bhaidkar has registered the case under Section 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code.
Responding to this, Sussanne, who is currently in London, said in a statement: “The said complaint is motivated and preposterous and has been only filed to intimidate me and pressurise me to withdraw the arbitration proceedings initiated by me in the first instance to recover my dues and damages resulting from breach of contract.”
