According to the police statement, Vedika worked for Alia from 2021 to 2024. She was responsible for handling the actress's financial paperwork, managing bills, and planning her schedule. Over the said period of two years, Vedika allegedly forged Alia's signatures on fake bills, claiming the money was needed for work-related expenses like travel and meetings and used it for personal expenses.

These fraudulent documents allowed money—about ₹76.9 lakh—to be transferred from Alia's personal accounts and her production company, Eternal Sunshine Productions, into a bank account belonging to a friend of Vedika's. That friend then reportedly passed the money back to Vedika. This is how the fraud was carried out.

After Soni Razdan filed the FIR on January 23, 2025, Vedika allegedly went into hiding. She moved across several states—Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka—until she finally settled in Bengaluru. The police tracked her down there recently and brought her to Mumbai under transit remand. She will remain in custody until at least July 10. The investigation is still underway. Authorities are examining financial records to strengthen the case.
