Alia Bhatt's Ex-Secretary Held For Rs 76.9 Lakh Embezzlement
Digital Desk: In a shocking turn of events, Alia Bhatt’s former secretary, Vedika Prakash Shetty, has been arrested by Juhu Police in a Rs 76.9 lakh fraud case. Authorities allege that Vedika forged Alia's signature and siphoned money from the actor's personal and company accounts for over two years from May 2022 to August 2024.
After getting Alia to sign fake bills for supposed company expenditures, Shetty took the money and used it for her purposes. The money was first transferred to Shetty's friend account before reaching Shetty.
The case came to light after Alia's mother, Soni Razdan filed a complaint against Shetty at the Juhu Police Station in January 2025. For almost five months, Shetty had been avoiding extraction, moving between cities such as Rajasthan, Karnataka, Pune, and Bengaluru until her arrest there. She was then taken to Mumbai, where she was placed under police custody until July 10, 2025.
This deeply personal breach of trust highlights how financial oversight can also cause problems within a celebrity's close circle.
