New Delhi: Bollywood actors Govinda, Shakti Kapoor and Chunky Panday, along with BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, have been named in an alleged investment fraud case linked to a Ghaziabad-based company, Maxizone Touch Private Limited, according to reports.
An FIR has been registered after several investors accused the company of cheating them through a fake investment scheme. As per a report by Deccan Herald the alleged fraud amounts to Rs 25 lakh, and is linked to a bigger investment and cryptocurrency fraud worth Rs 600 crore.
The FIR was filed on the basis of a complaint by one of the duped investors Jaspal Singh. The complaint stated that the investors were assured of a 15% dividend on investment, but they neither got any interest nor the principal amount.
The complaint added that the promotions done by the actors lured more people into the scheme.

Air India pilot reports possible defect in Dreamliner fuel control switch
New Delhi (PTI): An Air India pilot on Monday flagged a possible defect with the fuel control switch of a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, and the matter has been reported to aviation watchdog DGCA.
The aircraft operated the flight AI132 from London to Bengaluru, and it landed at Bengaluru on Monday morning, according to sources.
In a statement, the airline said it is aware that one of its pilots has reported a possible defect on the fuel control switch of a Boeing 787-8 aircraft.
"After receiving this initial information, we have grounded the said aircraft and are involving the OEM to get the pilot's concerns checked on a priority basis. The matter has been communicated to the aviation regulator, DGCA. Air India had checked the fuel control switches on all Boeing 787 aircraft in its fleet after a directive from the DGCA, and had found no issues," the statement said.
The incident assumes significance against the backdrop of concerns in certain quarters about the functioning of the fuel control switch in the ill-fated Air India Dreamliner that crashed in June last year.
In one of the worst aircraft accidents in India, a total of 260 people, including 241 passengers, died after Air India's Boeing 787-8 aircraft operating flight AI171 to London Gatwick crashed soon after take-off from Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025.
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is probing the crash.
In its preliminary report on the crash that was released on July 12 last year, AAIB said the fuel supply to both engines of the plane was cut off within a gap of one second, causing confusion in the cockpit soon after take-off.
"In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cut off. The other pilot responded that he did not do so," it had said.
