Raja Mukherjee, Rani's brother has been getting into some trouble! Raja Mukherjee, brother of actress Rani Mukherjee, is in trouble over an alleged cheating case, currently being investigated by the Goregaon police. Goregaon-based production house Goldmines Media Limited have alleged in their complaint that Raja Mukherjee manipulated the company’s funds on the pretext of shooting a serial for a television channel. Advocate Ashok Saragoi, representing the production house, said Mukherjee had approached his clients seeking financial help to produce a daily soap titled Pratima to be aired on Sahara Manoranjan Channel some time next year. Through his company J R Entertainers at Andheri (W), Mukherjee had entered into an agreement with the TV channel for production of the soap and approached his client seeking Rs 50 lakh for co-producing the serial on certain terms and conditions, said Saragoi. Between September and October 2003, the complainants paid Mukherjee around Rs 35.5 lakh, including cash payment of Rs 6 lakh for shooting expenses. However, at the time of submitting vouchers, the complainants pointed out to Mukherjee that the figures in bills submitted by him had been manipulated (he had allegedly shown more expenditure than had been actually incurred). It was learnt that Mukherjee had used a sum of Rs 78,000 on expenses other than shooting. A fresh memorandum of understanding was signed, but the misappropriation allegedly did not stop and the company reported the matter to the Borivali Metropolitan Magistrate Court, who instructed police to investigate the case. Manish Shah, managing director of Goldmines Media Ltd, said, “Raja has violated all the clauses in the memorandum of understanding. I will fight till the end for the company’s right.” Additional commissioner of police (north region) Madhu Shinde confirmed that a case has been registered and that the matter was being investigated. Numerous attempts to reach Raja Mukherjee yielded no result. His sister Rani Mukherjee refused to comment on the issue.
