EOW Probes Vikram Bhatt & Daughter Krishna Over Alleged ₹13.5 Crore Investment Scam

So, I was just reading about this—it’s honestly a lot to keep track of, but it looks like filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and his daughter, Krishna Bhatt (or Krishna Bhatt Sarda now), have really landed in some deep water.

Apparently, a new case has been registered against them at the Versova Police Station in Mumbai for an alleged fraud involving Rs 13.5 crore. It's pretty messy because this isn't even their only legal headache right now.

Here are the details of what's going on (hope I got all the numbers right, lol):

The Rs 13.5 Crore Case (Mumbai)

This one just blew up in late January 2026. A businessman—I think his name is Shivraj Prithviraj Khawade—claims that back in 2021, Vikram and Krishna convinced him to invest in some film projects.

The Hook: They allegedly promised him "handsome profits" and massive returns if he put money into their movies.

The Issue: Years went by, and the guy says he never saw his profit or his original money back. He finally went to the cops saying they just siphoned the funds.

Status: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has taken over the case because the amount is so big. They're looking into cheating and conspiracy charges.

Wait, There’s More? (The Rajasthan Case)

What makes this even crazier is that Vikram was already in trouble. In December 2025 (just last month), he and his wife, Shwetambari Bhatt, were arrested by the Rajasthan Police!

The Amount: That one was even bigger—about Rs 30 crore.

The Victim: Dr. Ajay Murdia, who owns Indira IVF.

The Story: He claims he was told that a Rs 7 crore investment for a biopic about his wife would turn into 4 films and make him like Rs 100–200 crore. Talk about an oversell.

Current Situation: Vikram was actually taken into custody in Udaipur for that one. His security even tried to block the police when they showed up at his Juhu flat!

Quick Summary of Allegations:

Case Location	Amount	Key People Involved
Mumbai (Versova)	₹13.5 Crore	Vikram Bhatt & Daughter Krishna
Udaipur (Rajasthan)	₹30 Crore	Vikram Bhatt & Wife Shwetambari

It basically looks like a pattern where they were taking money for "film investments" that never really went anywhere. Krishna has also been named in this latest one, which really sucks for her. Honestly, it's wild how these big Bollywood names get caught up in this stuff.

Would you like me to look up if there have been any official statements from Vikram's lawyers yet?
