Vicky Donor actress Yami Gautam is once again making all the buzz. However, this time, it’s not the buzz that she would have preferred. The 32-year-old actress has received summons by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under a Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) case.

Gautam who was recently seen making waves by her oh-so-amazing wedding pictures is allegedly involved in alleged money laundering and contravention of the FEMA law in the country. Officials close to the matter are claiming that Gautam will have to appear before the economic law probe agency on July 7.

As quoted by ANI-

“Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons actor Yami Gautam, asking her to appear before them next week to record her statement in connection with alleged irregularities under FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act).”

Gautam allegedly committed Foreign Exchange Violation worth Rs. 1.5 crores

While not much is known about the development, it is alleged that the Uri: The Surgical Strike actress is facing an inquiry against violation of Foreign Exchange Management Act rules. If sources are to be believed, Gautam is facing heat by the ED in connection to a foreign exchange violation worth Rs. 1.5 crores.

Not the first time Gautam received Summons from ED

Interestingly enough, the ED had allegedly found the exchange transactions in her bank account last year and was summoned in 2020. However, the actress, who has yet to comment on the new development, didn’t show up in the proceedings. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown which followed, Gautam failed to depose, and thus, received another summons.

The sources familiar to the matter are also citing that investigation on Gautam will be done under the civil proceedings of the FEMA law.

Rhea Chakraborty Probed by ED in SSR Murder Case

Earlier last year, the ED had filed a money laundering case against actress Rhea Chakraborty in her connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.

Incidentally, the news had emerged almost one year back, on July 3. Reportedly, the ED had sought help from the police in the FIR filed by the late actor’s father KK Singh, where he alleged that Rhea and her family had committed a fraud of Rs. 15 crores.
