In today’s fast-paced digital era, where news spreads rapidly, recent reports have emerged accusing renowned choreographer Remo D’souza and his wife, Lizelle D’souza, of defrauding a dance troupe out of INR 11.96 crore. The couple, well-known in the dance and entertainment industry, took to Instagram to issue an official statement refuting these allegations.
What Did Remo and Lizelle Say?
Responding to the claims, Remo and Lizelle expressed their disappointment at the circulation of such reports. In their joint statement, they said, “It has come to our notice through media reports that some complaints have been registered, alleging fraud in regards to a certain dance troupe. It’s disheartening that such information has been published. We would like to request that everyone abstain from spreading rumors before ascertaining true facts. We shall put our case forward in due time and will continue to cooperate with the authorities in every way possible like we have done so far. They also thanked their family, friends, and fans for the outpouring of love and continuous support. Love Always, Lizelle & Remo.
What Led to the Allegations?
The controversy began when a police report was filed against the couple, along with five other individuals, in the Thane area of Mumbai. The allegations accuse Remo and Lizelle, alongside the other named individuals, of cheating the dance troupe out of almost INR 11.96 crore. The FIR filed includes charges under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), such as section 465 (forgery) and section 420 (cheating). The complaint spans a period from 2018 to 2024, indicating an extended timeline during which the alleged fraud occurred.
The other accused parties named in the complaint include Omprakash Shankar Chouhan, Rohit Jadhav, Frame Production Company, and Ramesh Gupta. This suggests that the allegations are not only against the D’souza couple but also extend to a wider network of individuals, adding a layer of complexity to the case.
More details on the case are awaited.
