A Mumbai court on Friday sent designer Anishka Jaisinghani, accused of offering bribe to Maharashtra Deputy CM's wife Amruta Fadnavis, to police custody till March 21. Designer Anishka Anil Jaisinghani was arrested by police on Thursday after Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's wife Amruta accused her of offering a bribe for intervening in a criminal case and also threatening her.
Earlier, Amruta's lawyer had claimed that the designer had offered Amruta Rs 1 crore to get her father off the hook in a police case. However, on Friday they claimed that there are at least 22 videos, 3 voice notes, and 40 such messages through which Anishka Jaisinghani wanted to trap Amruta Fadnavis. And against these, the designer had asked Rs 10 crore as ransom.
An FIR has also been lodged against Aniksha and her father in Goa's Anjuna police station, that too a case of extortion has been told by the police.
Who is the real mastermind
Reports suggest that Anishka Jaisinghani may be acting on someone else's behalf to trap Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis and his wife Amruta. For this, the police is also collecting accused Aniksha's mobile phone data and dump data.
According to the sources, a recently-retired IPS who has been the police commissioner of Mumbai is suspected to have helped Aniksha in hatching this conspiracy.
