LUCKNOW: The troubles of actor Shilpa Shetty are far from over. A team of Lucknow Police has reached Mumbai to question Shetty and her mother Sunanda in an alleged fraud case through her wellness centre.

Shilpa Shetty runs a chain of wellness centres named Iosis Wellness Centre and Spa. The chairperson of this firm is Shilpa herself while her mother Sunanda is the director.

It is alleged that Shilpa Shetty and her mother took crores of rupees from two persons in the name of awarding the franchise of the wellness centre and also opening its branch, but the promise was not fulfilled.
