Ashneer Grover, the ex-co-founder and MD of Indian fintech firm BharatPe, and former judge on Shark Tank India season 1, is facing legal troubles as an FIR has been filed against him, his wife Madhuri Jain Grover, and family members Deepak Gupta, Suresh Jain, and Shwetank Jain by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW).

Last December, BharatPe lodged a complaint with the EOW of Delhi Police, accusing Ashneer and his wife Madhuri Jain Grover of committing a fraud worth INR 81.28 crore. In the same month, the fintech firm filed a civil lawsuit with the Delhi High Court. The FIR has booked the accused under eight criminal offenses, including Section 409 (criminal breach of trust by public servant, banker, merchant, or agent), Section 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), Section 467 (forgery of valuable security, wills, etc.), Section 120B (criminal conspiracy), Section 465 (punishment for forgery), and Section 477A (falsification of accounts), among other violations of the penal code.
