The statement further claimed that Shilpa Shetty is not at all involved in any of the working affairs of the JL Stream App." 

"It is nothing but an audacious attempt by Ms Sherlyn to drag Ms Shilpa Shetty’s name to create unwanted controversy and gain media attention. The allegations are nothing but an afterthought, wherein Ms Sherlyn Chopra, is arraigned as an Accused, in C.R. No. 02/2020, Nodal Cyber Police Station.

Ms Sherlyn Chopra, has committed offences u/s 499, 550, 389 and 195(A), of Indian Penal Code, 1860. We have complete faith in the Indian Judiciary, and we would be initiating civil/criminal proceedings against Ms. Sherlyn Chopra before the competent court of Law, for Justice. We have put a defamation of Rs 50 crore against Sherlyn Chopra," the official statement added.

Meanwhile, addressing the media at the Juhu police station on October 14, Sherlyn said, "I have filed a complaint to register FIR against Raj Kundra for sexual harassment, cheating and criminal intimidation."
