Hold on to your popcorn, folks! Our very own Sonu Sood, the Bollywood star famous for his big heart and “messiah” image during tough times, is back in the spotlight. But this time, it’s not for a movie role or a charitable act. He’s facing some serious questions.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has called Sonu Sood in for questioning. This is all part of a larger money laundering investigation. The case involves illegal online betting apps. Sonu Sood isn’t the only public figure on their radar. Actress Urvashi Rautela, former MP Mimi Chakraborty, and cricket legends Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh have also been linked to this probe. It seems a whole host of big names might have touched these forbidden waters.
Why the ED is Calling
The ED wants Sonu Sood to show up at their headquarters in Delhi on September 24. They suspect he promoted an online platform that’s actually banned in India. This app is reportedly involved in illegal online betting and moving money around in shady ways. The agency is digging deep. They want to know exactly how much these famous faces boosted the app’s reach. They’re also checking if any payments made to these celebrities broke financial rules. It’s a tricky situation that could have big consequences for everyone involved.
