Amitabh Bachchan's Son-In-Law Nikhil Nanda Booked In Fraud, Abetment To Suicide Case In Uttar Pradesh

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Nikhil Nanda, the chairman and managing director of Escorts Kubota and son-in-law of Bollywood veteran Amitabh Bachchan, has been implicated in a serious legal case involving allegations of fraud and abetment to suicide, according to News18 report. The case was registered by the Dataganj Police in Badaun district, Uttar Pradesh, following a court directive.

Nikhil Nanda is married to Amitabh Bachchan's daughter Shweta Nanda. He is also the grandson of Raj Kapoor, and therefore cousin of Kareena Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor.

Nikhil Nanda, alongside several executives from his company, is accused of pressuring Jitendra Singh, a tractor dealer, to meet unrealistic sales targets. The News18 report details the accused as Nikhil Nanda, Ashish Baliyan (area manager), Sumit Raghav (sales manager), Dinesh Pant (UP head), Pankaj Bhaskar (financier collection officer), Amit Pant (sales manager), Neeraj Mehra (sales head), and Shishant Gupta (Shahjahanpur dealer).

The complaint was filed by Gyanendra, Singh's brother, who claims that the relentless demands from Nikhil Nanda and his team led to significant distress for Jitendra Singh.

Gyanendra is a resident of Papad Hamzapur village. His brother, Jitendra Singh, previously ran a tractor agency named Jai Kisan Traders in Dataganj alongside his business partner, Lalla Babu.

However, following Lalla Babu's imprisonment due to a family dispute, Jitendra was left to manage the agency on his own, which has now led to the unfortunate series of events.

The accused are also alleged to have threatened Jitendra with the revocation of his dealership license and the auctioning of his property if sales targets were not met. Jitendra also confided about this to his family.
