Tamannaah Bhatia interrogated by ED in connection with money laundering case related to ‘HPZ Token’ app; no incriminating evidence found
The ED’s Guwahati regional office recorded Tamannaah’s statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Sources revealed that Tamannaah Bhatia was paid for a “celebrity appearance” at an event hosted by an app company involved in the money laundering case. However, no “incriminating” evidence or charges have been brought against her.
Bhatia had been summoned earlier but postponed his appearance due to work commitments, ultimately choosing to comply with the summons on Thursday.
In an ongoing investigation, a charge sheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate in March listed 299 accused entities, including 76 entities under Chinese control. Among them, 10 directors are Chinese nationals, and the other two entities are managed by foreigners.
The money laundering case stems from an FIR filed by the cyber crime branch of the Kohima police, which filed charges against several individuals under sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act. The defendants are accused of defrauding “gullible” investors by offering unrealistic returns from Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining.
