New Delhi: Controversy never seems to desert Tamil actress Kushboo. First she attracted the ire of Tamil Nadu’s moral police by making comments about chastity, then got embroiled in a defamation case with men’s magazine Maxim, and thereafter was accused in a cheating case.
On Wednesday, Kushboo surrendered before a Chennai court here in compliance with a Madras High Court directive while granting her anticipatory bail in connection with the cheating complaint.
Kushboo, who surrendered before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court, also furnished a personal bond for Rs 10,000 with two sureties of equal amount.
On January 9, a Madras High Court bench headed by Justice R Reghupathy had granted anticipatory bail to the actress who apprehended arrest.
Kushboo in under fire in connection with a complaint filed by her brother's father-in-law alleging criminal breach of trust and cheating.
In her bail plea, Kushboo had submitted that since the de facto complainant T N Varkey, settled in the US, desired to fund a Kannada film Janani being produced by her brother Abdullah Khan, they requested that money sent from the US for the purpose be routed through her.
PTI reports that Kushboo admitted having received payments of $8,400 and $8,000 (approximately Rs 7.80 lakh) on August 26, 2002.
She also admitted to signing an agreement of sale for her Bangalore flat Varkey as a part of the transaction.
Kushboo also said that she had handed over the said amount to her brother and taken receipts from him and sent them to Varkey, but he has started sending her letters to have the flat registered in his name.
