Actor Prakash Raj was called by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday to appear for questioning in connection with a money laundering case pertaining to a purported ₹100 crore ponzi scheme and fraud case against a jewelry firm based in Tiruchirapalli, according to official sources.
The case under investigation is Pranav Jewellers, a Tiruchirapalli-based partnership firm. The investigation was initiated on November 20 after the firm claimed to have found some gold jewelry and ₹23.70 lakh in “unexplained” cash during a raid.
