Bad news for Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone as they face legal trouble in Rajasthan for…

According to Kirti Singh, he bought a Hyundai Alcazar 1.5 AT Signature Black from Sonipat on June 14, 2022, for Rs. 23,97,353. Before the purchase, a company representative even visited his home, discussed the deal, and collected Rs. 51,000 as advance payment. Singh then arranged a loan of Rs. 10,03,699 through HDB Financial Services in Bharatpur and paid the remaining amount in cash.

Singh claimed the dealership assured him the car would be completely trouble-free and promised to take responsibility if any issue arose. However, soon after the purchase, the car began to show serious technical problems. According to him, whenever he tried to accelerate or overtake, the car’s RPM shot up, the vehicle vibrated, but the speed didn’t increase. The screen also displayed a warning: “Engine Management System Malfunction.”

“This defect has repeatedly put my and my family’s lives at risk,” Singh said in his petition. He added that when he reported the issue, company representatives admitted it was a manufacturing defect that couldn’t be fixed and bizarrely advised him to park the car and keep it running at 2000 RPM for an hour whenever the error appeared.

Singh accused Hyundai officials of hiding known issues in the Alcazar model and cheating customers. He said their refusal to replace the car or refund the amount with interest was a clear case of fraud and breach of trust. He also blamed Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, arguing that their endorsements of the car misled customers into believing the product was reliable.
