Bigg Boss Marathi 3’s Jay Dudhane arrested at Mumbai airport in Rs 5 crore fraud case

Jay Dudhane, known for his appearance on Bigg Boss Marathi 3, was arrested at Mumbai airport on December 4 in connection with an alleged Rs 5 crore fraud case. He was taken into custody by Thane Police following complaints related to a commercial property transaction. The arrest has drawn attention due to his reality television background and recent marriage announcement.

According to Pune Mirror, Jay was accused of selling the same commercial property to multiple buyers using fake documents. Police stated that the alleged transactions resulted in significant financial losses for several customers. The case reportedly involves documents that were misrepresented during repeated sales agreements. Investigators are examining records and statements linked to the deals over recent months in Maharashtra.

Besides Jay Dudhane, members of his family were also questioned as part of the ongoing investigation. Police confirmed that his mother, sister, grandmother, and grandfather were called for questioning. Authorities have not clarified whether charges will be filed against them. The probe remains active, and further details are awaited as police continue to verify financial records linked to the case.

Jay rose to popularity after becoming the first runner up on Bigg Boss Marathi Season 3. He later appeared on Splitsvilla and worked as a fitness trainer, model, and actor. His public image largely revolved around television appearances and social media presence. The arrest has shifted focus from his career to legal proceedings currently underway with authorities involved closely.

The development comes days after Jay married his longtime girlfriend, Harshala Patil, on December 24. The wedding was held in Thane with traditional Maharashtrian rituals and close family attendance. Harshala is a social media influencer, and the couple shared photos from the ceremony online. The images received attention across platforms shortly after posting, despite the unfolding investigation around Jay Dudhane.

Former Bigg Boss Marathi contestants Surekha Kudachi and Trupti Desai attended the wedding ceremony. Filmmaker Pravin Tarde was also present at the private event. Meanwhile, Thane Police continue to investigate the fraud case linked to property dealings. Officials have stated that more information will emerge as inquiries progress in the coming days after document verification is completed by investigators involved.
