Veteran actor-comedian Satish Kaushik died after suffering a heart attack in New Delhi. The news of his death was shared by his best friend, actor Anupam Kher on social media on March 9.
Now, a woman, who claims to be the wife of a Delhi-based businessman has lodged a complaint with the Delhi Police Commissioner's office alleging her husband killed Kaushik for Rs 15 crore which he took from the actor for investment purposes in Dubai. She said that Kuashik was demanding the money back which her husband didn't want to repay.
Quoting the new agency IANS, Times Now wrote that woman also said that it was a planned murder.
The FIR statement reads, 'I was present in the drawing room where both Kaushik and my husband got involved in an argument. Kaushik was saying that he was in dire need of money and it has been three years since he gave Rs 15 crore to my husband for investment purpose. Kaushik also said that neither any investment was made nor his money was returned for which he was feeling cheated.'
The complaint continues, 'My husband promised Kaushik that he would repay the money soon. When I asked my husband what was the matter, he said that he lost Kaushik's money during the Covid pandemic. My husband also said that he was planning to get rid of Kaushik.'
Earlier on Saturday, a senior police officer had said that they have recovered some 'medicines' from the farmhouse in Delhi where the 66-year-old actor had attended a Holi party before his death but ruled out any foul play.
