The Economic Intelligence Agency Enforcement Directorate(ED) has shocked Popular model-actress Yami Gautam by asking her to appear before them for questioning in connection with a money laundering case.

As per the media reports, the ED had summoned the actress and asked her to appear before them on the 7th of this month to record her statement in this case. The summons were issued today.

It is said that the ED served notices to the actress as the agency had detected an alleged transaction of foreign money in her bank account. The transaction was unearthed by the ED sleuths as it is keeping a close eye on her transactions reportedly.

As not informing the officials about her transaction comes under the violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), the officials asked her to come for questioning. This marks the second summons served by the ED.

It has been widely reported that the ED is keeping a vigil on the entire Bollywood industry and the officials have found out that the Vicky Donor received a sum of Rs 1.5 crore and the amount is said to be received from the foreign countries.

The central agencies have intensified their probe into the alleged links of drugs abuse and irregularities in money transactions in Bollywood after the sudden demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

After appearing in a handful of commercials, she forayed into Bollywood with Vicky Donor, produced by actor John Abraham’s John Abraham Entertainment. She went on to appear in Bollywood, Tollywood, and Mollywood films.

The URI actress tied the knot with filmmaker Aditya Dhar, who helmed Uri in June. Given the Covid scare, only limited invitees were invited and their wedding was an intimate affair.
