Shilpa Shetty and her businessman-husband
Raj Kundra have now filed a defamation case against
Sherlyn Chopra. This move comes after the duo's lawyers issued a warning to Sherlyn of a defamation case, following which she slammed the couple with an
FIR
claiming
sexual and
mental harassment
.
The statement reads, "The entire allegations made by Ms Sherlyn Chopra against Mr Raj Kundra and Ms Shilpa Shetty Kundra, are concocted, false, fake, frivolous, baseless, without any evidence, even to Ms Sherlyn Chopra’s knowledge, and have been made with an ulterior motive to
defame
and extort money". The statement further claimed that Shilpa Shetty is not at all involved in any of the working affairs of the JL Stream App. "It is nothing but an audacious attempt by Ms Sherlyn to drag Ms Shilpa Shetty’s name to create unwanted controversy and gain media attention. The allegations are nothing but an afterthought, wherein Ms Sherlyn Chopra, is arraigned as an Accused, in C.R. No. 02/2020,
Nodal Cyber Police Station
".
The statement issued further informed, "Ms Sherlyn Chopra, has committed offences u/s 499, 550, 389 and 195(A), of Indian Penal Code, 1860. We have complete faith in the Indian Judiciary, and we would be initiating civil/criminal proceedings against Ms. Sherlyn Chopra before the competent court of Law, for
Justice
. We have put a defamation of Rs 50 crore against Sherlyn Chopra".
