In a surprising twist in the world of dance, renowned choreographer Remo D'Souza and his wife, Lizelle, have found themselves at the center of a legal storm in Maharashtra's Thane district. A case has been filed against the couple, along with five others, for allegedly cheating a dance troupe out of a staggering Rs 11.96 crore, according to reports from local police.
The allegations unraveled
The drama unfolded after a 26-year-old dancer complained to Mira Road police station on October 16. The FIR details a tale of deceit stretching back from 2018 to July 2024, when the complainant's dance troupe participated in a television competition and emerged victorious. However, the joy of winning was short-lived. The accused allegedly posed as representatives of the troupe and laid claim to the prize money, leaving the dancers high and dry.
Alongside Remo and Lizelle, the complaint also names Omprakash Shankar Chouhan, Rohit Jadhav, the Frame Production Company, Vinod Raut, and Ramesh Gupta, with a thorough investigation now underway.
