What was Alia's signature used to be taken?
According to police sources, the investigation has revealed that Vedika Shetty allegedly prepared fake bills and took Alia's signature on it and grabbed the money while the actress was told that these expenses were for her travel, meetings and other related arrangements.
According to the police, Vedika Prakash Shetty, a resident of NG Cooperative Housing Society Road, Marol, cheated both the company and Alia in a planned manner.
