Bollywood actor Chandrachur Singh has lodged an FIR against his aunt Gaytri Devi, two cousins and four others, alleging that his grandfather’s will was forged to deprive his father of his inheritance.
Chandrachur Singh made his acting debut in 1996 with Tere Mere Sapne, which was bankrolled by Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited. He tried to make a comeback in 2012 with the multi-starrer film Chaar Din Ki Chandni, but the film received a mixed response. In 2020, he made his big acting comeback with the Disney+ Hotstar crime drama series Aarya, opposite Sushmita Sen.
He won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut for his performance in the film. The actor further alleged that a large portion of the prime properties inherited under the disputed will was subsequently sold over the years. He went on to appear alongside Tabu in the critically acclaimed film Maachis, directed by Gulzar. Later, he appeared in several films as a leading actor, including Betaabi, Dil Kya Kare and Silsila Hai Pyar Ka, but they failed to make a mark at the box office.
Captain Baldev Singh was not present in Aligarh when the will was allegedly executed, according to the complaint. His other uncle, Puniya Pratap Singh, had died before Harender Pal Singh, he said. He also said that after lodging the FIR, he recorded his statement with the police.
Talking to reporters on Friday evening, Singh said he had collected sufficient evidence to substantiate his allegations.
