Kerala police officials questioned actress Sunny Leone at a private resort in Trivandrum on Thursday (February 4) as part of their investigation in an alleged cheating case, a report in IANS said. R. Shiyas, an event manager, filed a complaint against the former ‘Bigg Boss’ contestant for allegedly not attending different inaugural functions despite taking money.

Shiyas, who conducts events in Kochi, registered a complaint against Sunny Leone, accusing her of taking Rs 29 lakh from him and promising to attend different functions. The event manager alleged that the ‘Ragini MMS 2’ actress failed to keep her promise.

In his complaint, Shiyas alleged that Leone’s manager took money in installments from 2016 onwards and promised to attend five functions. He added that he had to file a complaint against her after she didn’t attend the events.

A police offer, while talking to IANS, said that Sunny confessed that she took the money. He further said that Leone told the officials that she didn’t intend to cheat Shiyas.

Sunny told the Crime Branch that her manager took the money and she even allotted dates for the same. The two sides faced issues as the event manager couldn’t comply with Leone’s dates, the report in the news agency said.

"She had deposed before the Crime Branch that her manager had indeed taken the money and she had given dates several times but the event manager could not comply with her dates and hence the issue arose," the police offer was quoted as saying by IANS.
