Salman
Khan,
his
sister
Alvira
Khan
and
seven
others
associated
with
Being
Human
have
been
summoned
by
the
Chandigarh
Police
in
an
alleged
case
of
fraud.
The
summons
was
reportedly
sent
after
a
local
businessman
named
Arun
Gupta
filed
a
complaint
of
cheating.
An
ANI
report
quoted
Chandigarh
SP
Ketan
Bansal
as
saying,
"They
have
been
given
time
till
July
13
to
reply.
If
there's
anything
criminal,
action
will
be
taken."
Gupta
revealed
that
he
had
opened
a
store
under
the
brand
'Being
Human
Jewellery'
in
2018
and
had
spent
Rs
2
crore
on
it.
He
has
claimed
that
two
employees
of
Being
Human
had
asked
him
to
open
the
franchise,
promising
him
that
Salman
Khan
would
come
to
inaugurate
the
showroom.
Now,
Being
Human
and
Style
Quotient
Jewellery
Pvt
Ltd
(SQJPL)
have
released
an
official
statement
saying,
"Being
Human-
The
Salman
Khan
Foundation,
Salman
Khan,
Alvira
Khan
nor
any
other
representative
of
the
foundation" have
anything
to
do
with
the
case.
The
statement
revealed
that
Being
Human-
The
Salman
Khan
Foundation
had
appointed
Style
Quotient
Jewellery
Pvt.
Ltd
for
(or
as?)
their
global
licensee
for
jewellery
vertical
in
December
2015.
It
was
then
in
2018
that
"SQJPL
signed
an
MOU
with
Arun
Gupta's
Modern
Jewels
to
be
the
first
Franchisee
of
Being
Human
Jewellery."
Take
a
look
at
the
statement,
Notably,
Gupta
has
alleged
that
he
was
promised
he
would
be
provided
with
all
kinds
of
support
and
backup
to
promote
the
brand.
However,
he
claimed
that
neither
promotional
commitments
were
fulfilled,
nor
was
the
stock
of
goods
delivered
to
his
store.
"They
called
us
for
a
meet-and-greet
with
Salman
Khan.
I
met
him
and
he
promised
me.
Now
1.5
years
have
passed,
and
I
have
not
received
anything.
Salman
did
not
reply
to
my
letters," Gupta
added.
Meanwhile,
the
company
statement
added
that
they
have
submitted
a
written
response
and
since
the
matter
is
"currently
sub
judice,
we
will
not
be
able
to
comment
more."
