Additional Commissioner of Police, Murthal, Sonipat, Ajeet Singh, stated that the complaint pertains to a multi-marketing company that is currently under investigation.
The Supreme Court’s notice marks the commencement of judicial examination regarding the involvement of the accused in the company’s promotional and operational activities.
The charges include criminal breach of trust, cheating, and fraudulent property transfer. Ajeet Singh, Additional Commissioner of Police (ACP) in Murthal, confirmed in January 2025 that the actors were mentioned in the complainant’s statement submitted to the police.
He stated,
“The main complaint is against the society that is alleged to have duped people of their money by luring them to invest. We will have to investigate what role, if any, is ascribed to Shreyas and Alok Nath.”
A resident of Sonipat reportedly filed a complaint against the society, which is registered in Indore under the Multi-State Cooperative Society Act of 2002.
The society, active in multiple states since September 2016, allegedly attracted investors with high-return fixed deposit and recurring deposit schemes, utilizing a multi-level marketing model to grow its investor base through agent recruitment.
On the professional front, Shreyas was last seen in Housefull 5 alongside Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, Dino Morea, and others. He has several upcoming films, including Welcome To The Jungle, Baaghi 4, The Game Of Girgit, and The India Story.
