Kapil Sharma had placed an order for a vanity van with DC Design in 2017 and even paid Rs. 5.70 crore

Accused of cheating and forgery in the DC Avanti loan scam case, DC Design founder Dilip Chhabria has found a second FIR registered against himself after comedian Kapil Sharma approached the Mumbai Criminal Intelligence Unit (CIU) last week to file a complaint against the car designer. The comedian and TV Show host has accused Chhabria of taking ₹ 5.70 crore against a vanity van, which was not delivered to him. The Mumbai Police have recorded Sharma’s statement in the matter. Back in 2018, Sharma had also shared renderings of his vanity van on Twitter.

A Hindustan Times report quotes Joint commissioner of police Milind Bharambhe saying, “We are in the process of registering a first information report (FIR) against Chhabria for cheating Sharma. We will verify the facts and investigate the case.”

In Kapil Sharma’s statement, the comedian said that he had approached Chhabria to design a vanity van in 2017. Sharma had paid ₹ 5.30 crore to Chhabria between May 2017 and May 2018. However, the actor says there was no progress on his order, and he approached Chhabria once again in July 2018. According to the report, Chhabria demanded an additional ₹ 40 lakh as GST that was paid up in July 2018. However, with no further development over the next few months, Sharma asked for his money back.
