FORMER MANAGING Director of BharatPe Ashneer Grover and his wife Madhuri Jain were stopped Thursday evening by authorities at the Delhi airport from travelling to New York on the basis of a lookout circular issued against them by Delhi Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW).
A senior police officer said Ashneer and his wife were stopped at the immigration.
On Friday morning, the EOW sent summons to their Delhi residence, asking them to join its investigation in a case in which recruitment firms linked to Grover and his family members allegedly used backdated invoices to siphon funds from BharatPe.

In December last year, the fintech company had filed a complaint against Grover, who is one of its co-founders, his wife Madhuri and other family members for allegedly carrying out a fraud of Rs 81 crore.
In a post on X, Grover said he will cooperate with the probe. He said he had not received any communication from the EOW since May last year, when the case was filed, until Friday.
“I was going to US from 16-23 November. At immigration they said LoC laga hua hai sir…. I found it strange as have travelled 4 times internationally since FIR filed in May — never been a problem and I had not even been summoned once… Today morning EOW summon was home delivered — will cooperate as always,” Grover said in his post.
