Alka Kaushal, a popular TV actor who was also seen as Kareena Kapoor Khan’s mother in Salman Khan-starrer Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Kangana Ranaut’s mother in Queen, has been sent to jail in a cheque bounce case.
As per reports, Alka has been sentenced to a two year imprisonment by a district court in Punjab. She was a part of recent shows like Swaragini and Qubool Hai on TV, and has been mostly seen playing a negative role.
Alka Kaushal has been accused of not returning around Rs 50 lakh to an acquaintance. She has been blamed of money laundering and theft as her two cheques of Rs 25 lakh each bounced at the banks. Her mother theatre actor Vishwa Mohan Badola has also been sentenced to jail for two years along with Alka.
As per reports in Amar Ujala, “Advocate Sukhbir Singh said that Alka and her mother had borrowed 50 lakhs from an acquaintance, Avtar Singh. The money was borrowed with the promise of serial-making. When Avtar asked Alka to give back her money, he got 2 cheques of 25 lakhs each. But they got bounced. After that Avtar, filed a case against Alka and her mother in Malerkotla court.”
With Alka not available, her brother Varun Badola, an acclaimed TV actor himself said, “As the case is under jurisdiction, I cannot give many details. Yes, the news flashing around the verdict in media is true but we will appeal to the higher courts against it. It’s just one court that has declared it, we will fight the judgement.”
