B’wood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan left the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office on Monday after the interrogation of Panama Papers leak case in Delhi. It took around five hours and then the actress moved from Delhi to Mumbai as she was papped at the Mumbai airport.
Sharing a clip of Aish at the Mumbai airport on Monday night, a paparazzo quoted, “Aishwarya Rai Bachchan back home after her visit in Delhi to the ED office.”
However, the ED had issued notices to the Bachchan family asking them about their foreign remittances since 2004 under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) of the Reserve Bank of India.
The Panama Papers are the leaked files from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca. The documents were disclosed to the media in 2016 and several celebs including Aishwarya, her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan and Ajay Devgn were named in these records.
Meanwhile, post the documents got leaked in 2016, Big B cleared that the money that he has sent abroad was under Indian rules and he has followed all the legal steps to send it. Moreover, he completely denied having any links to the companies that displayed in the Panama Papers as he said, ‘it is possible that (his) name has been misused’.
Another side, Abhishek Bachchan was also questioned by the Enforcement Directorate in another case emerging from the same set of papers linked to the offshore financial leaks case.
