According to the latest reports, it turns out that the Audi was purchased from Virat Kohli. "We have seized the Audi R8 vehicle, worth Rs 3 crore, that Thakkar had purchased from the proceeds of his ill gotten wealth. On enquiries, we found that he had purchased the vehicle from cricketer Virat Kohli,” DCP Parag Manere told the media. He brushed away any rumours that may link Kohli to the scam , explaining that he had no idea about Shaggy’s whereabouts.
