Ashneer Grover's Wife Questioned In Alleged Rs 81 Crore Fraud At BharatPe

If convicted, Ashneer Grover and Madhuri Jain face up to 10 years to life in prison.

BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover's wife, Madhuri Jain, was today questioned by Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing in an alleged Rs 81-crore fraud at the fintech startup. The cops had also summoned Ashneer Grover, but he did not appear for questioning today.

The complaint was filed in May 2023 after BharatPe alleged that Mr Grover and his family caused damages of Rs 81.3 crore through illegal payments.

The company claimed they made fake payments to human resource consultants, forged invoices, made illegal payments to travel invoices, and also added non-existing transactions in input tax credit and payment of penalty to GST authorities.
