8-Hour ED Interrogation Shocks Tamannaah’s Fans!

Actress Tamannaah Bhatia found herself at the center of controversy after being questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for eight hours in Guwahati, Assam. The inquiry is linked to a money laundering case involving the 'HPZ Token' mobile app, which has been accused of defrauding investors under the guise of cryptocurrency mining. During her questioning, Tamannaah's statements were recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), raising eyebrows in both the film industry and among her fans.

The ED's investigation focuses on allegations that several investors were misled by promises of high returns from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through the HPZ Token app. Sources indicate that Tamannaah received payments for a "celebrity appearance" related to this app, which is currently under scrutiny for its dubious financial practices. Although she was previously summoned, she deferred her appearance due to work commitments and finally complied with the ED's request this week.

The case has broader implications, as it involves multiple entities, including several Chinese-controlled companies, accused of orchestrating a scheme that duped investors across the country. The ED's charge sheet details how these entities used shell companies to mask their operations and engage in fraudulent activities related to illegal online gaming and betting. As investigations continue, the agency has already seized assets worth ₹455 crore linked to this case.

While no incriminating evidence has been presented against Tamannaah Bhatia so far, her involvement has raised questions about celebrity endorsements and their potential repercussions in financial misconduct cases. As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this will impact her career and public image in the entertainment industry.
