Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra's gold scheme, launched in 2014, promised investors a fixed amount of gold on the maturity date of the scheme. However, a bullion trader filed a complaint stating that he did not receive the promised gold and was instead sent a post-dated cheque for only the principal amount. The court has directed the investigation into the matter and the complainant's lawyer argues that the scheme was designed to guarantee and assure investors of timely delivery of gold.
