In a shocking development from the Bollywood circuit, actress Alia Bhatt’s former personal assistant has been arrested for allegedly cheating her of a staggering ₹77 lakh.
The assistant, who worked closely with the actress for an extended period, reportedly exploited the position of trust to misappropriate funds. According to initial reports, the accused was responsible for managing several financial and logistical aspects of Bhatt’s professional commitments, which included handling payments and reimbursements.
Police sources state that the alleged fraud came to light when Bhatt’s financial team flagged irregularities in multiple transactions. Upon internal investigation, discrepancies were found, and a formal complaint was lodged by the actress’s representatives.
Following the complaint, authorities launched an investigation and arrested the accused earlier this week. The suspect is now in custody and being questioned regarding the embezzlement of funds.
So far, no official statement has been issued by Alia Bhatt or her team. However, sources close to the actress indicate that she is deeply disturbed by the betrayal, especially from someone who was once considered a trusted aide.
The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected as the case unfolds.
