NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday granted interim bail to Bollywood filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and his wife Shwetambari in connection with Rs 30 crore fraud case.

The couple was arrested from their Mumbai residence on December 7, 2025, and brought to Rajasthan after a complaint was filed against them by a Udaipur-based doctor, alleging that he had been defrauded of crores by the director on the pretext of making a film.

A Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi directed forthwith release of the couple and posted the matter for hearing on February 19.
