After Ranbir Kapoor, his ‘Tu Jhoothi Mai Makkaar’ co-star Shraddha Kapoor has now been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the gaming app scam. While Ranbir has requested two weeks’ time to appear before the agency for questioning, it is not known when Shraddha will be appearing. Other celebs like Kapil Sharma and Huma Qureshi too have been summoned by the ED in the same case. Notably, these celebrities are not named as accused in the case, but will be questioned over what they know about the mode and flow of payment allegedly done to them by the app’s promoters. The aforementioned gaming app is known to be an umbrella syndicate that allegedly provides online platforms to illegal betting websites to enroll new users, create user IDs and laundering of money through a layered web of benami bank accounts. It is worth noting that the present online gaming rules in India prohibit betting. The ED further alleged that they do large expenditures in cash in India for advertising of betting websites to attract new users and franchise seekers.
