Director Vikram Bhatt has reportedly been arrested in connection to a Rs 30 crore IVF fraud case.
Bollywood filmmaker Vikram Bhatt has reportedly been arrested in connection with a ₹30 crore IVF fraud case, according to multiple media outlets. The news broke on December 6, 2025, following an investigation into alleged fraudulent activities in the field of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). Bhatt, known for his work in the thriller genre, is said to have been detained by Mumbai Police after accusations emerged regarding a large-scale scam involving IVF procedures.
Allegations and Arrest
As per reports, the charges stem from an investigation involving Dr. Murdia, an IVF specialist, who accused Bhatt and his associates of conspiring to defraud several patients seeking IVF treatments. It’s claimed that the individuals involved misled patients about the efficacy and costs of treatments, leading to financial losses amounting to Rs 30 crore. The accusations also involve misrepresentation of medical procedures and falsification of documents.
Bhatt, who has maintained his innocence, previously dismissed the allegations as “fabricated” and “without merit.” He had also publicly expressed confidence that the truth would come to light, insisting that the accusations were part of a larger attempt to tarnish his reputation.
Legal Proceedings and Investigation
Reports suggest that Bhatt’s arrest followed a thorough investigation by the police, who reportedly found evidence linking him to the scam. At the time of writing, details surrounding his detention remain sparse, and the filmmaker’s legal team is expected to challenge the charges in court.
Authorities have been tight-lipped about further details of the case, with Mumbai Police confirming the arrest but withholding specific information about the ongoing investigation.
