Art Dealer Granted Bail in Fake Paintings Case, Mumbai Court Finds

Art Dealer Granted Bail in Fake Paintings Case, Mumbai Court Finds

Imagine someone sold some paintings that turned out to be copies, not the real deal.

An art dealer named Leena Chethan, who runs Tangerine Art, is accused of doing this.

An actor couple, who own an art business called Kyozan Arts, bought the paintings from her.

Later, they found out the paintings weren't authentic and had to give the buyer their money back.

The actor couple then reported Chethan to the police.

However, the court has allowed Chethan to be free on bail while the case continues, because the evidence is mostly paperwork, and she didn't actually paint the fakes herself.
