Fraud allegations against Remo D’Souza: Dance troupe scandal unfolds

Renowned choreographer Remo D’Souza and his wife Lizelle have recently been embroiled in a legal dispute following allegations of fraud. The allegations, which emerged after an FIR was lodged on October 16 in Maharashtra’s Thane district, claim that the couple, along with five others, defrauded a dance troupe of Rs 11.96 crore.

The complainant, a 26-year-old dancer, claims the deception occurred between 2018 and July 2024. The impression given was that the accused owned the dance group that performed and won in a show of television, and then claimed the important prize money. In the midst of these accusations, Remo and Lizelle have proclaimed their innocence.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, the couple issued a joint statement via Instagram, asking the public to refrain from spreading rumors and promising full cooperation with law enforcement. Other parties involved include Omprakash Shankar Chouhan, Rohit Jadhav, Frame Production Company, Vinod Raut and Ramesh Gupta, a police constable, as indicated in the ongoing police investigation.
