New Delhi, July 20: Prerna Arora, a Bollywood film producer, was charged with money laundering for Rs 31.6 crore on Wednesday by Enforcement Directorate.
She was given a summons on Wednesday, but she did not show up, claiming that she had requested time through her advocate, Vivek Wasvani, and was currently out of town for some official business.
Films like Kedarnath, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Padman, Fanney Khan, and Pari were produced by Prerna Arora. She also worked on the Abhinav Bindra biography.
Prerna Arora, the director of movie production company KriArj Entertainment Private Limited, was detained earlier in 2018 by members of the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) for allegedly defrauding movie producers Vashu Bhagnani and Pooja Entertainment of Rs 31.6 crore.
The complainants stated that this unlawful transfer of rights caused them to suffer wrongful losses of Rs 31.6 crore. They discovered that Ronnie Screwvala had received the rights of Kedarnath from Prernaa Arora’s KriArj Entertainment.
She was accused of violating IPC sections 420 (cheating) and 120B (criminal conspiracy).
