Cultfit Co-Founder Seeks Karnataka HC Intervention to Quash FIR in Business Dispute
Cultfit co-founder Rishabh Telang has petitioned the Karnataka High Court to quash an FIR filed by his brother-in-law and former business partner Deepak Poduval. The complaint alleges forgery, cheating, and diversion of business assets related to the transfer and closure of Cult Fitness Private Limited. The court has issued notices to the state government and Poduval but declined to halt the police investigation. The case is set for hearing on September 2, coinciding with Cultfit's IPO preparations.
