Aggarwal, in his complaint, alleged that his wife and his friend Sethi had conspired together and fabricated several documents to gain control over the company.
He claimed that while he was facing charges of insider trading in a separate case in the US, Radhika and Sethi had hatched a criminal conspiracy along with other unknown persons to oust him from his own firm, Shopclues which was launched in India in 2011.
According to the FIR, the FBI and Department of Justice of the USA had in July 2013 booked Sandeep Aggarwal on charges of insider trading, for which he had to remain in that country.
