The Mainpuri district police filed a new cheating case against Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade on February 10, 2026, adding to his existing legal problems stemming from the alleged investment fraud.
A court-ordered investigation leads to a new case involving a complaint from a Mohalla Mishrana resident in Bhogaon, who accuses Talpade and 12 others of stealing thousands of rupees from villagers. The group operated a bank branch, which they pretended to be a Mumbai-based bank that would deliver high returns to their investors from deposited funds.
The authorities continue to investigate Talpade’s supposed participation with the Loni Urban Multi-state Credit and Thrift Cooperative Society Limited. The actor, along with Bollywood star Alok Nath, has been accused of becoming a brand ambassador for the society, which allegedly promised rural investors that they could double their money before the organisation closed down and vanished with millions of rupees.
The legal cases involve three states: Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Uttarakhand. The Supreme Court of India granted Talpade temporary arrest protection in July 2025, while issuing notices to multiple states regarding his pending cases.
The representatives of Talpade have completely rejected all accusations made against him. His team called the charges false in their earlier statement, explaining that the actor attended events as a public figure and was not involved in any fraudulent activity.
Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the full extent of the alleged investment scam, which has reportedly affected many rural investors across northern India.
