Manish Trehan, known for producing the widely acclaimed Netflix web series Jamtara, is currently facing legal troubles as he has been charged by the Mumbai Police. The producer is accused of defrauding a businessman, identified as Nihar L, out of a substantial sum of Rs 2.5 crores. According to the details of the case, Trehan is alleged to have deceived Nihar by falsely promising to invest the funds into a new film project and to further expand his business operations.

The complaint lodged by Nihar outlines that Trehan gained his trust and convinced him to invest the hefty amount by portraying a lucrative return through the proposed film project and business growth. However, it has been alleged that once the money was transferred, Trehan neither initiated any project nor did he return the investment, leading to suspicions of financial misconduct.

The police have commenced a thorough investigation into the matter, scrutinizing the financial transactions between Trehan and Nihar as well as other business activities of Trehan to ascertain the veracity of the claims made by the businessman. This case has stirred significant attention, given Trehan’s prominence in the entertainment industry, particularly his connection with the successful series Jamtara, which has been well-received on Netflix.

As the investigation proceeds, the film and entertainment community, as well as Trehan’s associates, are closely monitoring the developments. The outcome of this case could potentially have far-reaching implications for Trehan’s career and reputation in the industry.
