Tamannaah Bhatia grilled by ED in cryptocurrency scam

ED questioned Tamannaah Bhatia: Case related to HPZ token app money laundering, actress had received money for promoting the app

Tamannaah Bhatia was questioned by the ED in Guwahati on Thursday in connection with the money laundering case related to the HPZ Token mobile app. The actress had received money for celebrity appearances at an event related to the HPZ Token app. People have allegedly been duped in the name of bitcoin and cryptocurrency through this app.

According to PTI, Tamannaah Bhatia was paid for ‘celebrity appearance’ at an event related to the HPZ Token app. However, the report also states that there are no serious allegations against Tamannaah. She was summoned earlier as well, but could not go due to work, so now Tamannaah reached the ED office in Guwahati, Assam on Thursday.

Crores of rupees were defrauded by promising to give 4 thousand rupees every day on investment. For cheating, fake accounts were opened in the name of shell companies in different banks, in which money was transferred from the investors. The accused invested that money in crypto and bitcoin and invested money on many betting apps like Mahadev.

It is worth noting that Tamannaah Bhatia’s name has also come up in the Mahadev Betting App case. Apart from the actress, 17 stars like actors Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor were questioned in this case last year. It was alleged that all of them had promoted the app and appeared in its advertisements. At the same time, HPZ app is also linked to Mahadev Betting App.
