Chandigarh Court Summons Salman Khan, Sister Alvira in ₹3 Cr Being Human Jewellery Fraud Case

A Chandigarh district court has issued summons to actor Salman Khan, his sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri and the directors of Style and Content Jewellery Pvt Ltd in connection with a cheating complaint linked to a Being Human jewellery showroom in Manimajra.

The court has directed all the accused to appear on October 5 and file their replies to the allegations.

Businessman Alleges ₹3 Crore Investment Led To Heavy Losses

The complaint was filed by Chandigarh-based businessman Arun Gupta, who alleged that he invested nearly ₹3 crore in the Being Human jewellery showroom after being assured of strong business prospects.

According to the complaint, around ₹1 crore was spent on setting up the showroom, and Gupta claimed he fulfilled all contractual obligations under his agreement with Style and Content Jewellery Pvt Ltd, the company licensed to market Being Human jewellery.

He alleged that despite these commitments, the company failed to provide the promised business support after the showroom became operational, resulting in losses running into several crores.

Complaint Alleges Misrepresentation

Gupta further alleged that the outlet responsible for supplying Being Human jewellery had remained shut since February 2020, disrupting inventory and severely affecting the business.

The complaint also claims that six individuals associated with the company misrepresented the business opportunity and induced him to make the investment.

Company Denies Allegations Against Salman Khan

Style and Content Jewellery Pvt Ltd has previously denied the allegations, maintaining that Salman Khan had no direct involvement in the 2018 agreement with the Chandigarh businessman.

The company has stated that the jewellery business was independently operated by Style and Content Jewellery Pvt Ltd under a brand licensing arrangement.

It also said the Salman Khan Foundation had licensed the Being Human brand to the company in 2015, while the responsibility for operating, marketing and selling the jewellery business rested solely with Style and Content Jewellery Pvt Ltd.

Next Hearing On October 5

The matter is scheduled to come up before the Chandigarh district court on October 5, when Salman Khan, Alvira Khan Agnihotri and the directors of Style and Content Jewellery Pvt Ltd are expected to appear before the court and respond to the allegations.
