Chennai Court Awards Actress-Politician Jaya Prada 6-Month Jail, Rs 5,000 Fine

Veteran actress and politician Jaya Prada has been recently sentenced to 6 months of imprisonment after she was found guilty by a Chennai court in a case related to the failure of payment to her theatre workers.

As per the reports, a fine of Rs 5000 has also been imposed on the actress in connection to the case.

Her business partners Ram Kumar and Raja Babu were also found guilty.

Jaya owned a theatre in Chennai which got shut down.

The theatre workers had later complained against her for not paying the ESI money which was deducted from their salaries. The workers alleged that the ESI money was not paid to the Government Insurance Corporation.

Later, the theatre workers complained against her that the deducted ESI funds were not remitted to the Government Insurance Corporation as required by law.

The Labour Government Insurance Corporation pursued legal action against Jaya Prada and her associates at the Egmore Magistrate Court in Chennai.

Reportedly, Jaya Prada acknowledged the allegations against her and expressed her commitment to settle the outstanding dues.

However, the court refused her appeal and imposed a fine and imprisonment.
