On July 2, Bollywood actress Yami Gautam was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The actress was called for questioning by the ED in an alleged violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). The case is being investigated by Zone 2 of ED and this is the second time that the actress has been summoned by the agency.

Yami, who recently tied the knot with filmmaker Aditya Dhar in an intimate ceremony, has been asked to appear for questioning on July 7. As per reports, the alleged violation includes a suspected foreign financial transaction in her private account which she did not inform authorities about.

However, Yami is not the only Bollywood celebrity to have been summoned by the ED. In the past too, several Bollywood biggies have been called by them.

The Bollywood actress and her brother Showik were summoned by the Enforcement Directorate for interrogation following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The brother-sister duo was grilled for several hours by the ED. Their father Indrajit Chakraborty, too, was summoned by the ED in connection with the money laundering case

Bollywood’s Badshah Shah Rukh Khan and his Kolkata Knight Riders co-owners, Juhi Chawla and her husband Jay Mehta were served Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons for allegedly violating Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) norms back in 2015. The Knight Riders Sports Pvt Ltd was suspected to have violated FEMA norms by undervaluing its shares in a transfer deal with Jay Mehta’s overseas company, Sea Island Investments Ltd.

Back in 2017, the Enforcement Directorate issued notice to actor Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with its probe in the Panama Papers case. Officials had said at that time that they had issued notices to the Bachchan family some time back asking them to explain their foreign remittances since 2004 under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) of the RBI.
