"Anil Jaisinghani's daughter Anishka contacted my wife and called herself a designer. She said her father has been implicated in the wrong case, on which Amruta asked her to write a letter to which she offered a bribe of Rs 1 crore to get her father released," Fadnavis said.
"Amruta blocked her but she sent a video threatening to make it viral & if we didn't withdraw all cases against her father. In one of the videos, Anishka can be seen stuffing money in a bag and later handing over the bag to Amruta," Fadnavis added.
Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, filed a complaint against a designer named Aniksha and her father for allegedly offering her a bribe of Rs 1 crore.
The complaint has been filed at the Malabar Hill Police station on February 20, stated reports.

According to a report in DNA, Amruta in her complaint stated that she and Aniksha had been in touch for over 16 months and has visited her home on some occasions. They first met in 2021.

Another report in Indian Express stated that the Aniksha allegedly offered to provide Amruta information on bookies through which they could earn money and also offered Rs 1 crore to get the designer's father off the hook in a criminal case.
Reportedly, Aniksha had visited the Deputy CM residence multiple times and sent Amruta Fadnavis the products she has designed, some which she wore to public events and later returned.

According to the complaint, things went downhill when Aniksha made the offer of Rs 1 crore to get her father off the hook a case on February 16 and Amruta blocked her contact. The threatening video clips, voices notes and multiple texts from an unknown number ensued on February 18 and 19.
Amruta alleged the woman and her father were indirectly threatening her and conspiring against her.
