Popular filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and his wife Shwetambari Bhatt have been arrested in a Rs 30 crore fraud case. The cheating case was registered back in Rajasthan, following the Udaipur Police’s arrest of the couple on Sunday, 7th December 2025.
The filmmaker, his wife Shwetambari, and six others face an accusation that they cheated Dr Ajay Murdia, a Udaipur-based founder of the Indira Group of Companies. Two people were arrested in the case earlier.
An official stated, “Murdia, owner of Indira IVF Hospital, wanted to make a biopic on his late wife. He has alleged that he was promised earnings of ₹200 crore. But nothing materialised, after which Murdia approached Bhopalpura police station in Udaipur, where an FIR was registered for cheating and other offences,” per The Hindu.
As per the report, the Udaipur Police secured a transit remand for the filmmaker and his wife, Shwetambari, in the evening. However, their lawyer has stated that the Rajasthan Police arrested the couple without proper permission. Additionally, they noted that the couple was asked to sign a document with no mention of date or time.
