Singh told Rai that they had obtained NOCs from all departments and had to secure an NOC from the PMO.“Only 10 days of shooting are left for the completion of the film. The film production needed ₹1 crore,” Singh told Rai.He asked Rai to invest the money. “I was promised a profit of 25%. I gave the money in installments and through RTGS in Qureshi’s bank account and we also signed a contract on which the dealing with profit sharing was mentioned,” he said.Rai said Singh and the others did not work further and the film production was halted.“In Jan 2024, they signed a contract promising to refund my ₹1 crore if they failed to secure an NOC from the PMO. Qureshi gave me post dated cheques worth ₹20 lakh (two cheques) and ₹30 lakh (two cheques). However, the cheques were dishonoured when I deposited them for encashment,” Rai alleged.“Sanjay had defrauded me of crores of rupees in the past in the name of a model and would threaten to frame me in cases on demanding the money. They also use blackmail tactics,” he alleged.SHO PGI, B.C.
