BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover and his wife Madhuri Jain were stopped at the Delhi International Airport following a lookout circular issued against them by the Economic Offences Wing (EoW) of Delhi police in the alleged fraud at the fintech firm, sources said.

The couple were to travel to New York late on Thursday for a vacation when they were stopped at the airport.

EoW is investigating complaints of payments being made at BharatPe to fake human resource consultancies allegedly operated by Grover and his family. They have also been accused of backdating invoices to use funds.

Grover in a post on X confirmed being stopped at the airport. He, however, said he had not received any communication or summons from the EoW since the FIR was filed.

“I had not received any communication or summons from EOW since FIR in May till 8 am today morning (7 hours after returning from the airport). I was going to the US from November 16 to 23.

“Today morning EOW summon was home delivered — will cooperate as always,” he said.
