Deepak Gupta, Ashneer Grover’s brother-in-law and former Managing Director and co-founder of BharatPe, was arrested on Friday by the Delhi Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW).

As per ANI, Gupta is implicated in allegations of misappropriating funds from the fintech company and is set to appear before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) at Saket Court.

Earlier, BharatPe initially filed a criminal complaint in December 2022 against five individuals, including Ashneer Grover, Madhuri Grover, Shwetank Jain (Madhuri’s brother), Suresh Jain (Ashneer’s father-in-law), and Deepak Gupta.
