Nikhil Nanda, the son-in-law of Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, has been accused of fraud and abetment to suicide in a case filed in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh. The allegations stem from the suicide of businessman Jitendra Singh, who was reportedly pressured to meet unrealistic sales targets.
Singh, who owned a tractor dealership, was allegedly threatened with license revocation by Nanda and other officials from Escorts Kubota Limited. Struggling with mounting pressure, Singh tragically took his own life in November 2024. His brother later filed a complaint, leading to legal action against Nanda and several senior company executives.

Nanda, who serves as the Chairman and Managing Director of Escorts Kubota, has not commented on the allegations. Meanwhile, the Bachchan family has remained silent, despite Nanda’s close ties to Bollywood through his marriage to Shweta Bachchan.
As investigations continue, the case has drawn significant public attention, given Nanda’s high-profile connections and his leadership role in India’s agricultural machinery industry. Authorities are now probing the extent of his involvement in the alleged coercion.
