On Friday, the Chandigarh Police summoned Salman Khan, his sister Alvira & 6 others from ‘Being Human’.
A complaint was filed after a local businessman Arjun Gupta allegedly accused them of Rs 2 crore fraud.
As per a media report, in his complaint, Gupta claimed that he had spent Rs 2-3 crores in 2018 to open an exclusive store under Salman’s brand ‘Being Human Jewellery’.
The Manimajra-based business also stated that he was assured that Salman would promote the brand in ‘Bigg Boss’ and they would provide all kinds of backup. However, according to Gupta, none of the commitments were reportedly fulfilled.
Now, Style Quotient (licensee of Being Human Jewellery) has issued a statement to clarify that Salman, Alvira, or any member of ‘Being Human Foundation’ ‘have nothing to do’ with the case.
The official statement by SQJPL (Style Quotient Jewellery Pvt Ltd) reads, “The current matter is between SQJPL and Modern Jewels alone as neither ‘Being Human – The Salman Khan Foundation’, Salman Khan, Alvira Khan nor any other representative of the Foundation are parties to the said MOU and they have nothing to do with it. In fact, Mr. Salman Khan is only the owner of the Brand “Being Human” and not even a trustee of the Being Human Foundation.”
It further reads, “We sincerely request Media houses to ascertain facts with the concerned authorities where the complaint has been registered before publishing or republishing any media article about this matter. We at SQJPL have already submitted a written response which clarifies all of the above. Since the matter is sub judice, we will not be able to comment more.”
