India, April 7 -- A Bengaluru court has ordered businessman Rahul Tonse, also known as Rahul Shetty, to repay Rs.61.4 lakh to Kannada film actress Sanjana Galrani after finding him guilty of cheating her under the guise of a real estate investment.

According to a report by Times of India, the ruling came in a case dating back to 2018-19, when Tonse allegedly took Rs.45 lakh from Galrani in instalments, promising lucrative returns by investing in site properties in Bengaluru.

When he failed to deliver on his commitment and began evading her, Galrani approached the court, which led to a cheating case being registered against Tonse and his parents in October 2021 by the Indiranagar police, the report added.
