Amid cheating claims, Palash Muchhal deletes all Smriti Mandhana photos

Music composer and singer Palash Muchhal has taken a strong stance against allegations of cheating and fraud made by Marathi actor and producer Vidnyan Mane, filing a Rs 10 crore defamation suit against him. The controversy surrounds a Rs 40 lakh investment Mane allegedly made in one of Muchhal's film projects, which he claims was not returned despite the project not materializing.

Vidnyan Mane had approached the police in Maharashtra's Sangli district, alleging that Muchhal cheated him of Rs 40 lakh. Mane claimed that he met Muchhal in December 2023 and was encouraged to invest in a film project titled Nazaria, with promises of substantial returns and a role in the film.

However, when the project failed to materialize, Mane's attempts to recover his investment were allegedly met with silence. Mane also made personal allegations against Muchhal, including claims of infidelity during his relationship with cricketer Smriti Mandhana, whose wedding with Muchhal was recently called off.
