A case of fraud has been registered against Bollywood star Sonakshi Sinha. It was filed in Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh, according to Business Standard.

Four others have also been named in the police complaint alleging that the actor, along with Malvika Punjabi, Dhumil Thakkar, Edgar Sakaria and Abhishek Sinha have defrauded the complainant of INR3.2 million.

Pramod Sharma stated in a police complaint that the amount had been transferred to Sonakshi's account for her presence at an event. However, she did not turn up.

Accusing the police of inaction, the complainant consumed poison recently, but was saved. A police official said that they have registered a case but the organiser was trying to exert unnecessary pressure on them by carrying out acts such as the consumption of poison.

Sonakshi's management agency has said the organiser is using the media to release false and manipulated facts, and that if he doesn't stop this, the actor and her team will be forced to take legal action.

The India Fashion and Beauty Award programme had been organised on September 30 last year. Talent Full On Company was roped in for the event and after talking to Sonakshi's private secretary INR3.2 million was deposited into her account. The Dabangg star cancelled last minute, causing the organisers a great loss.
