Back in 2018, Kapil Sharma had shared a rendering image of his vanity van on Twitter. I believe this was render given to him by DC.

After 1 month in jail, Dilip Chhabria's bail plea rejected

Last month, Dilip Chhabria was arrested in a cheating case. Now, a Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court has rejected both the bail applications filed by the car designer in the two cases filed against him.

One of the case includes a cheating case wherein loans were taken against 90 cars sold by the company. In some instances, loans were taken for cars already sold. According to the Police, Chhabria and his company had availed loans from non-banking financial companies (NBFC) by posing as customers wanting to buy DC sports cars. An average loan of Rs. 42 lakh per car was availed.

The second case involved comedian Kapil Sharma, who is said to have paid Chhabria Rs. 5.7 crore towards a vanity van. Chhabria has failed to deliver the said van.

My goodness. What a horrendous looking machine. Should've also been charged with crimes against humanity for even thinking of producing this monstrosity.

Never liked their designs, I don't know why there was a reasonable amount of hype to his company in the internet. Good that he was arrested before he could flee the country though.

Dilip Chhabria's son gets pre-arrest bail in cheating case

Dilip Chhabria's son Bonito Chhabria, has been granted anticipatory bail in a Rs 22 crore cheating case.



The 29-year old along with his father, mother Cherry Chhabria, wife Anushree and aunt Kanchan had been booked in the case filed by auto parts dealer Indermal Ramani.

Ramani had approached the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police claiming that Dilip Chhabria owned him around Rs. 18 crore for a consignment of parts and had borrowed some money for investment.

In December 2020, Dilip Chhabria was arrested under section 420 and other relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

A new plot twist.



I wonder if this is actually true, or have DCs survival instincts gone to hyperdrive. Eventually the truth will be revealed. Hopefully.

In the Mumbai Mirror video seen on this link, it is pitiable to see the once famed designer DC emerging out from a caged-police van ( at least some DC designed police van would have been preferable) under arrest, due to the multi- crore frauds he had committed with the spares supplier in Chennai and with comedian Kapil Sharma, who had ordered a vanity bus.

After the high profile Carlos Ghosn episode (still newer skeletons are emerging every few days) and with DC now under fire, we find that the once- famed personalities who were always eyed by the media from the automobile field now involved in scams and then deposed and displaced.

Now, Bonito is arrested - full article.

Mumbai police on September 25 arrested Bonito Chhabria, son of car designer Dilip Chhabria, in connection with a case of cheating registered against him on the basis of comedian Kapil Sharma's complaint, an official said.

Mr. Bonito was called for questioning in the case by the crime branch officials. After being questioned, he was placed under arrest, he said.

Father, Mother, Aunt, Son...who's next?

I will say, for all the angry design he showed on the poor & beautiful cars, especially the cute little Nano!! justice served well!!

If any of you don't believe me, just take a look at this thread. Probably revenge of the cars

Bonito Chhabria passed away earlier this morning from severe health complications. He has been unwell for a while, I believe.

RIP.

What a Sad end to a young soul.
Come to think of it, they were doing really well for themselves as a family.
If not for this greed, they would have been a happy family, and probably even BC must have been alive.

RIP.

It seems bad times for DC continue. Now he is under the ED scanner for money laundering. Like him or hate him, it is sad to see the once mighty fall such a way.

Yes that is true. Both passed away within 6 months of each other. Very very tragic. Knew both of them very closely.

DC's daughter Minica Chhabria also passed away in this year May, his son passed away last year.

Tragic. Both were young.

DC's Splendor kit though looked awful sold in good numbers for a couple of years during the early 2000s. He must have inspired numerous people to take design modification as a career.
