Tamannaah Bhatia lands in big trouble

Bollywood actor Tamannaah Bhatia has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Guwahati for questioning in a money laundering case involving a fraudulent digital platform called “HPZ Token”.

The actor, known for her roles in movies like “Baahubali” and “Stree 2”, was previously grilled by the Maharashtra Cyber Police over her alleged links to the illegal streaming of IPL matches on the FairPlay app.

According to reports, the ED questioned Tamannaah Bhatia for several hours on Thursday night regarding her connections to the “HPZ Token” platform, which is accused of defrauding investors by promising lucrative returns through cryptocurrency mining.

The platform is under investigation for allegedly cheating several investors, and Tamannaah’s involvement has raised concerns about whether her celebrity endorsement lent credibility to the scam.

It is pertinent to note here that the ED chargesheet filed earlier this year, names at least 299 accused entities in the scam, 76 of which are under Chinese control and 10 with Chinese-origin directors.
