On Monday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for allegedly stashing wealth outside India, apparently to avoid government taxes. The actor has asked for more time to attend the questioning, which is based on the records submitted by her earlier.
Apparently, the ED started investigating into alleged foreign exchange violations in 2017 against the Bachchan family. It had issued notices to the family in connection to their foreign remittances since the year 2004.
The actor’s name has been associated with “The Panama Papers” case, which alleges involvement of powerful and rich from across the globe in setting up offshore accounts to evade taxes in their home countries.
