This is the second time that Yami Gautam has been summoned by the federal agency. The first summons was issued to her last year, but she failed to visit the ED office due to restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic.
Reportedly, certain transactions came under the scanner of the ED and after a primary investigation, it was found that Yami’s accounts were connected to them. Many other big banner Bollywood films are also under the scanner of ED for money laundering.
Meanwhile, Yami Gautam recently returned to Mumbai after her wedding to filmmaker Aditya Dhar. The couple had an intimate wedding in the actress’s hometown. She is currently shooting for her upcoming thriller movie ‘A Thursday’.
