Shilpa Shetty, mother booked for 'fraud' in Lucknow

LUCKNOW: The troubles of actor Shilpa Shetty are far from over. A team of Lucknow Police has reached Mumbai to question Shetty and her mother Sunanda in an alleged fraud case through her wellness centre.

As per the sources, two FIRs were registered at Hazratganj and Vibhutikhand police stations in Lucknow. Now the cops have intensified the investigation in both cases. While one team of cops has reached Mumbai, the other team is planning to reach that city soon to question the actress and her mother.

Shilpa Shetty runs a chain of wellness centres named Iosis Wellness Centre and Spa. The chairperson of this firm is Shilpa herself while her mother Sunanda is the director.
