Salman Khan has been summoned by a Chandigarh district court, along with his sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri and directors of Style and Content Jewellery Pvt Ltd, over a cheating complaint tied to a Being Human jewellery showroom in Manimajra, Siasat reported. The court has directed the accused to appear on October 5. The complaint dates to July 2021, filed by Chandigarh businessman Arun Gupta, who says he invested close to Rs 3 crore, including nearly Rs 1 crore to set up the showroom, on assurances of strong business support that he says the company failed to deliver once it opened, and that the supplying outlet for the jewellery has remained shut since February 2020. The company has denied wrongdoing, maintaining that Salman Khan had no direct role in the 2018 agreement with Gupta, and says the Salman Khan Foundation licensed the Being Human brand to the firm back in 2015, with the company alone responsible for running, marketing and selling the jewellery business.
Indian Opinion Analysis
A court summons is a procedural step that allows a case to proceed, not a finding against those summoned, and the report is careful to note the company's denial alongside Gupta's allegation. The five-year gap between the original complaint and this summons, and the earlier closure of the supplying outlet, are specific facts worth registering, though they do not by themselves establish who is responsible for Gupta's losses. The accused are due to appear on 5 October, and what they say there about the 2018 agreement is the next step in the case.
