Bigg Boss 11 contestant Arshi Khan has fallen prey to a controversy yet again! Reports suggest that the actress has been accused by a priest of the Sai Dham temple in Kandivali, of borrowing a sum of Rs 40,000 two years ago and not returning it. The priest has now filed a complaint at a police station at Samta Nagar.

Narrating the entire incident, the pandit revealed that Arshi along with her publicist Flynn Remedios met him in September 2015. Arshi and her publicist then started regularly visiting the temple. On December 5, 2015, the priest apparently gave Arshi Khan a loan of Rs 40,000 when she told her that she lost her purse and was in urgent need of money for her medical treatment, reports The Free Press Journal. He further claimed that she stopped visiting the temple after that.

The priest further revealed that when he tried to get in touch with her through calls, she avoided him. Mid-day reported the priest saying, “Arshi was like my daughter; I helped her in a time of distress, but she broke my trust. I seek the police’s intervention so I can get my money back.” Senior inspector of Samata Nagar Police station has assured that they received the complaint and they will investigate the matter. The police said that they will register a non-cognisable offence.

Calling these allegations baseless, Arshi’s publicist told the tabloid, “The allegation is completely baseless. Arshi does not owe any money to Pandit Ramesh, he is just trying to extort her. The police has not informed us of any complaint. We will soon file a complaint against Pandit Ramesh, as he is spreading rumours and harassing Arshi.”

Let's see what happens next...
