The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday questioned famous TV actors- Nia Sharma, Krystle D'Souza, and Karan Wahi in the money laundering case. Nia Sharma, Krystle D'Souza, and Karan Wahi are under the scanner of the ED in the Forex trading online platform OctaFX case. Nia, Krystal; and Karan's statements were reportedly recorded under PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002). In the same Forex online trading platform OctaFX case, ED had conducted raids at many places in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and Delhi on April 20 this year. During this period, ED had frozen bank funds worth about Rs 2.5 crore and recovered digital evidence and documents related to the case. Now, the question arises why Nia Sharma, Krystle D'Souza, and Karan Wahi are on ED's radar?
Why did ED question Krystle D'Souza, Nia Sharma & Karan Wahi?
As per reports, the aforementioned television actors are accused of promoting illegal trading Forex app on social media. As per reports, illegal online forex trading was being done in India through the international broker octaFX trading app. It is alleged that permission was not taken from RBI for the app and that is why ED registered a case under PMLA and started an investigation. The OctaFX online trading app and its associated website were run with the help of its Indian entity OctaFX India Pvt Ltd. As per reports, this app has so far done trading worth Rs 500 crore in India.
For the unversed, Nia Sharma, Krystle D’Souza, and Karan Wahi are popular names in the Indian television industry. Karan is known for shows like Dill Mill Gayye and Channa Mereya.
