Nikhil Nanda, son-in-law of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, has been named in a case of fraud and abetment to suicide.
An industrialist, Nanda is married to Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter, Shweta Nanda. He is also the grandson of Raj Kapoor, making him a cousin to Kareena Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor.
Authorities in Uttar Pradesh’s Badaun district booked Nanda following a court directive. He, along with the company’s chairman, managing director, area manager, sales manager, Shahjahanpur dealer, and other officials, has been accused of fraud.
According to a report by ETV, Jitendra Singh, the owner of a tractor agency, faced immense pressure to increase sales and was allegedly threatened with the cancellation of his dealership if he failed to meet targets. Under distress, Singh took his own life in November 2024.
