Armaan Jain reaches ED office for questioning in 175 crores money laundering case

On Wednesday morning, actor Armaan Jain arrived at the Enforcement Directorate office for questioning in an alleged money laundering case. 

He was summoned twice by ED in a money laundering case of Rs 175 crores connected with a private firm Tops Grup.

Armaan Jain is the grandson of Raj Kapoor and the cousin of actors Ranbir Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

The officials had searched the actor’s residence at Altamount Road in South Mumbai, where he lives with his wife Anissa Malhotra and mother Reema Kapoor Jain among others. The raid was conducted on the same day when his uncle Rajiv Kapoor passed away due to a cardiac arrest. 

The officials have reportedly collected case-related evidence from his house.

According to a report in India Today, Armaan's name came up when the ED was probing a money laundering case filed against Shiv Sena leader Pratap Sarnaik. Jain is reportedly a friend of Sarnaik's son Vihang, who was earlier questioned by the ED.

Sources told India Today that ED had found some suspicious communication between Armaan and Vihang and the officials wanted to inquire if Arman has received any money from them.
