Salman Khan Summoned by Chandigarh Court in Alleged Multi-Crore Being Human Jewellery Fraud Case
Chandigarh, India: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been summoned by a local court in Chandigarh in connection with an alleged fraud case related to the Being Human Jewellery brand. The court has also issued summons to his sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri and the directors of Style and Content Jewellery Private Limited.
According to Indian media reports, all accused have been directed to appear before the court on October 5, 2026, and submit their responses to the allegations.
The case stems from a complaint filed by Chandigarh-based businessman Arun Gupta, who claims he was persuaded to invest in a Being Human Jewellery showroom based on false promises made by the company and its representatives.
Gupta alleges that he invested nearly ₹3 crore in establishing the showroom, including approximately ₹1 crore spent on construction and interior development. He claims the company failed to provide the promised business support after the outlet became operational.
According to the complaint, business operations suffered significantly after the jewellery supplier’s store reportedly shut down in February 2020, disrupting product availability and affecting sales. Gupta further alleges that six individuals associated with the company provided misleading information that influenced his investment decision.
Company Denies Allegations
In response, the company has rejected all allegations, maintaining that Salman Khan had no direct role in the 2018 commercial agreement.
The company stated that the Being Human Foundation had only licensed the Being Human brand in 2015, while all operational and commercial responsibilities for the jewellery business rested solely with the company managing the venture.
The matter is now scheduled for further proceedings before the Chandigarh court on October 5, where the accused are expected to present their responses.
It is important to note that these are allegations made in a legal complaint. The case is currently before the court, and no findings of guilt have been made.
