Lawyer Arjun Singh, who represents Armsprime Media, said, “We have just learnt that Poonam has filed a petition in Bombay High Court. We haven’t been served a copy of it, yet. matter has neir been listed r heard. We will deal with it once we receive a copy of petition. As far as her allegations are concerned, re is substance in m."

He ded: "She has been paid in excess — an amount of `60 lakh — as per agreement in accordance of revenue share. Just because Raj is an investor in Armsprine, she is trying to extort money by misusing criminal law. She has a civil remedy available if she feels re is a discrepancy in payments but dragging everyone in a criminal case is malicious and mischievous.”
