Vijay Deverakonda, who faced a big failure with his latest film, Kingdom, arrives at the ED office in Hyderabad in connection with a betting app promotion case.
The actor received allegations of receiving money in the form of Hawala. During his visit, Vijay met the media, and he requested them not to ask time-pass questions, and he would do everything after interrogation.
Vijay Deverakonda, the Telugu actor, showed up at the ED on Wednesday to give his statement about the betting app case. The ED sent out notices to film stars promoting betting apps, and now they have called Vijay to show up at their zonal office in Basheerbagh for questioning.
The actor who previously appeared in a betting app ad got booked by the Cyberabad police along with some other famous actors for promoting betting. The ED kicked off its own investigation into the issue after the FIR came out.
Some people complain that the promotion of betting apps by celebrities lured many in, leading to massive financial losses, and tragically, some even took their own lives.
The ED has reached out to 36 film personalities with notices so far. They called Rana Daggubati to show up on July 23. But he asked to come back on August 11. Manchu Lakshmi needs to come in for an investigation on August 13, according to the ED’s notice.
Prakash Raj, the senior actor, had already met with the ED officials and shared his statement about the case earlier.
