The case began when Varanasi businessman Vishal Singh filed a complaint at the Cantt police station. He accused Pawan Singh and others of cheating him in a film investment deal.

To gain his trust, they introduced him to Pawan Singh in 2018.

Vishal Singh later alleged that Pawan Singh also guaranteed the film’s success. However, the movie was never made, and the money was not returned. Police registered a case, making Singh’s arrest likely.

At the hearing, senior lawyers argued that Pawan Singh was only the lead actor, not involved in production or finance. The court accepted that the funds went to the producers, not him, and granted anticipatory bail.
