On Saturday Goa police has allegedly booked entrepreneur and designer Sussanne Khan in a Rs 1.87 crore cheating case.
According to Times of India reports, The ex-wife of Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan, Sussanne has been accused for falsely projecting herself as an architect by Emgee Properties, a real estate firm in Goa.
Managing partner Mudhit Gupta said the company paid Sussanne Rs 1.87 crore in 2013 for “architectural and designing services”, as per ANI reports. However, Gupta alleged that Sussanne failed to deliver her designs within the stipulated time, and what she finally submitted was sub-standard.
Gupta added, Suspicious of her credentials, the company checked with the Council of Architecture and found that she wasn’t registered as an architect.
Responding to this, Sussanne, who is currently in London, said in a statement: “The said complaint is motivated and preposterous and has been only filed to intimidate me and pressurise me to withdraw the arbitration proceedings initiated by me in the first instance to recover my dues and damages resulting from breach of contract.”
According to reports in Hindustan Times, Sussanne said she had challenged the termination of the contract with Emgee Enterprises and has invoked arbitration under the contract for recovery of her dues.
“As a counter-blast to the said proceedings, Mudhit Gupta, only with the intention to harass and pressurise me to give in to his frivolous counterclaim, initiated the criminal complaint,” she added.
She plans to give a “befitting response” to the “frivolous complaint”, she said.
She also added, “Such complaints do not scare me. Rather it encourages me to stand up for the truth. The allegations in complaints are false and defamatory and I will take appropriate proceedings in accordance with law.”
