A few months back, Shraddha Kapoor was named as
an ‘Accused’ in a criminal complaint filed by fashion designers Aj Mistry
and Thea Minhas in front of the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate, seeking
punishment, in respect to her film, Haseena Parkar.

had sent a notice to Swiss Entertainment, Sameer Shaikh (Executive Producer of
the filme) and Shraddha.

And now there is a development in the same case as the
judge has ordered a police investigation in the matter, which means Shraddha
along with other accused, have been asked to produce themselves in front of the
police to record their statement.
Lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee confirmed the update to us and
said, "Yes it is true that the Learned Metropolitan Magistrate has ordered
a police inquiry in the said matter and all the accused would be required to
appear at the Police Station and record their statements. As the matter is
subjudice I do not want to comment on the facts of the case. However as the offences
are compoundable, I only hope that the matter gets settled amicably but yes,
Shraddha Kapoor will have to come to the police station to record her
statement.”

For those who've come late, designers Aj Mistry and Thea
Minhas had claimed that they delivered some 300 outfits which were used in
Haseena Parkar and in return they were promised plenty of publicity.

Shraddha wore the label once during the promotions and the rest of the promises
were ignored. Aj Mistry and Thea Minhas then made multiple calls to convince
the makers of Haseena Parkar and the actress to fulfil their promise but to no
avail.
Left with no option they then decided to take legal
recourse.
