Bollywood actress Tamannaah Bhatia was interrogated for five hours in connection with an ongoing money laundering investigation, media reports reveal.
According to sources, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting a probe into the involvement of high-profile individuals in a betting app scandal, which allegedly facilitated illegal betting during leagues like the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The ED summoned Bhatia after suspicions arose about her involvement in promoting the betting app. Accompanied by her parents, she arrived at the ED office in Assam for questioning, with her father joining her inside while her mother waited outside in their car.
Although the actress was subjected to extensive questioning for five hours, the specific details of the interrogation have not been disclosed. This is the second time Bhatia has been summoned in connection with this case, with her first appearance being at the ED’s Maharashtra office.
The investigation is part of a broader effort to expose celebrity involvement in illegal activities, including gambling and money laundering, which have raised concerns across various sectors.
