What did the bullion trader’s lawyers say?
Lawyers of the aggrieved bullion trader say that a mere reading of such a scheme would make it clear that the gold would be given to the concerned director, irrespective of the market price at that time, which is sufficient to show that there was a guarantee on the basis of which such a scheme was created.

However, this is not the first time that Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra are embroiled in a controversy, even before this the name of the actress and her businessman husband has been involved in many controversies.
