Mumbai: City crime branch on Monday arrested car designer Dilip Chhabria in a fresh case of cheating comedian Kapil Sharma of Rs 5.7 crore.

Chhabria, arrested on December 29, 2020, in a car financing and dual registration racket, was sent to judicial custody last week. Police on Monday sought permission from 37th metropolitan court for his custody in the fresh case. Sharma had filed a complaint before EOW in September last year, alleging that despite paying him Rs 5.7 crore, he had not delivered a customised vanity van he had ordered in 2017, and was demanding more money and parking charges.

Chhabria will be produced before the metropolitan magistrate court on Tuesday.

Assistant inspector Sachin Waze said Chhabria had demanded Rs 1.2 crore as parking charges. Police said six more people complained to crime branch about Chhabria.
