Nusrat Jahan denies allegations of financial fraud

Actor Nusrat Jahan, who is also the Trinamool Congress MP from Barishat, has publicly denied her involvement in fraudulent practices, an allegation made by a group of senior citizens. They claimed that a real estate company, with Jahan as one of its directors, swindled them out of several crores of rupees by promising to deliver flats in New Town, Kolkata. Jahan spoke to the media to set the record straight on these accusations. She stated that she severed her ties with the Seven Sense Infrastructure company on March 1, 2017, and has had no connection with the company since. Jahan further clarified that she does not own any stake in the company. She explained that she borrowed Rs 1.16 crore from the company to purchase her house and paid it back with interest (Rs 1.42 crore) on May 6, 2017. Her bank statements, she said, would confirm this, making it clear that the allegation of using public money for personal gain was incorrect. The actor-turned-politician refused to discuss the matter further, saying that it was pending before a court.
