Neha Sharma questioned by ED in online betting | Indian Movie News
Actor Neha Sharma was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday as half of its ongoing investigation into suspected money laundering linked to an online betting software. The company had issued a summons to Sharma, who is also the daughter of Congress chief Ajit Sharma, searching for particulars relating to her affiliation with the platform.
According to officers cited by the PTI, Sharma’s assertion is being recorded under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Investigators are reportedly analyzing her involvement through promotional actions linked to the app. The actor has not made any public remark relating to the development.
Sharma, identified for her roles in Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 (2013), Solo (2017), and Tanhaji (2020), has also labored in the digital space with the sequence illegal. She has appeared in short movies, including Kriti and Vikalp, taking part in central characters in both.
Her look comes amid a wider scrutiny of celebrities linked to the betting platform. In current months, the ED has questioned a number of public figures, including Sonu Sood, Vijay Deverakonda, Prakash Raj, Urvashi Rautela, Shikhar Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh, and Rana Daggubati.
Actor Prakash Raj, summoned in July, addressed the media about the inquiry: “As a citizen of this country, the officers had called on the money laundering of the betting apps, and I have come. It was something that I did in 2016, and later, on moral grounds, I did not pursue it. I gave them information that I have not received any money because I did not want to take money from that. They have taken all the details and we finished the enquiry, and that’s it.”
Similarly, Vijay Deverakonda, questioned in August, clarified, “I was summoned because my name came up in connection with a betting app case. In India, there are two different categories – betting apps and gaming apps. I clearly explained that I promoted a gaming app called A23. There is no connection between betting apps and gaming apps. Gaming apps are legal in several states. They are registered, have GST, taxes, and necessary approvals.”
