Kerala crime branch questions Sunny Leone; know why

The Crime Branch of Kochi police questioned Bollywood actress Sunny Leone over a cheating case related to a programme.

According to reports, the actor was questioned on Friday night by a Crime Branch team based on the complaint lodged by R Shiyas of Perumbavoor who submitted that the actor accepted Rs 29 lakh promising to participate in two programmes but failed to turn up.

Leone, who is vacationing in Kerala for about a month, told the crime branch of Kerala police that she missed the events in view of the coronavirus pandemic.

While the complainant, R Shiyas of Perumbavur, has alleged that the contract involved ₹29 lakh, a person aware of Leone’s itinerary reportedly said the amount was ₹12 lakh, which he said would be returned.

Crime Branch officials said a discussion is on between the complainant and the actor on the issue after the actor had expressed her willingness to attend the event if the organisers are ready to schedule it for another day.
