Rakhi Sawant and her brother Rakesh Sawant have reacted after an FIR was lodged against them in New Delhi for financial fraud. Along with the brother-sister duo, a person named Rak Khatri was also named in the FIR. The FIR was filed by a retired bank employee named Shailesh Shrivastava in Vikaspuri police station in the capital. However, Rakesh and Rakhi have rubbished the FIR calling it a publicity stunt and have threatened a retaliatory defamation suit.
Rakhi told an online portal, “It has nothing to do with me, my legal team will file a defamation suit soon. This is a publicity stunt and our legal team will take action.” On the other hand, Rakesh shared details of the events that unfolded between the duo with regards to the dance institute mentioned in the FIR.

Rakesh said, “I invested 3 lakhs for the renovation of the institute in 2017. But just before we could open the institute, I had to return to Mumbai for my mother's stomach operation. I was here for a month and when I went back to Delhi, I got to know the place was rented to some Sardar ji. So, when I had come back to Mumbai for my mother's operation in a hurry, I had forgotten my cheque books and some more stuff back in Delhi, which I got to know have been misplaced. In fact, I had even filed a complaint for my missing cheque books and some more stuff. I had even informed my bank to stop all withdrawals.”
He further added, “Rakhi has nothing to do with all this. She has no clue about the deal. I called Shailendra so many times on returning to Delhi, at that time they never took my calls. And now, when Rakhi has come out of the Bigg Boss house, they are using this opportunity to gain publicity by presenting my old cheque books and claiming that I have done a fraud.”
