On Wednesday, Delhi's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) questioned Madhuri Jain, the wife of BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover, regarding an alleged Rs.81 crore fraud case.

 The allegations include the creation of fake invoices, illegal payments to vendors, and the utilization of backdated invoices to transfer funds from BharatPe's accounts.

The Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has been investigating this case and recently questioned Madhuri Jain, who was previously employed as the Joint Director-HR at BharatPe and was terminated from her position last year. The accusations suggest her involvement in the fraudulent activities. Ashneer Grover, who is also summoned for questioning, did not appear before the police yet.

This case has led to serious consequences, with Grover resigning as CEO after the complaint was filed against him and his family. The alleged fraudulent actions, if proven, could result in severe penalties, including imprisonment ranging from 10 years to life.

Additionally, the couple faced travel restrictions recently when immigration officials at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport prevented them from boarding an international flight to New York due to a lookout circular issued by the Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing.

The investigation by the EOW continues, focusing on the alleged fraudulent financial transactions and the involvement of Ashneer Grover, Madhuri Jain, and their associates in the misappropriation of funds at BharatPe.
