In an unexpected turn of events, Mahesh Babu gets a summons by the ED over a real estate scam case of Rs. 5.9 crores. Read on!
Mahesh Babu has now grabbed the spotlight for an unexpected reason! According to a News18 report, the actor has received a summons from the Enforcement Directorate dated for April 27 due to his alleged connections with a real estate scam and money laundering case over Rs. 5.9 crores.
To put things into perspective, two Hyderabad-based companies dealing with real estate have been accused of duping buyers, and reports have suggested that it was none other than Mahesh Babu who received a sum of Rs. 5.9 crore for an endorsement deal with these companies.
Well, the SSMB29 actor's promotion of Sai Surya Ventures (one of the prime accused companies) has apparently led many potential buyers to invest, not knowing the ulterior fraudulent motives.
Although Mahesh Babu might not be directly involved, the ED is looking after every minute detail of the matter. The fact that the actor was directly paid with the proceeds of the crime has intensified the investigation. Mahesh Babu is expected to cooperate with the matter as the probe continues to unearth the details.
The Enforcement Directorate strongly believes that the cash payment made to the actor is a key link to the case. The actor's name came into the limelight after the Telangana police filed an FIR against the heads of these two companies.
Further details on the impending case are awaited. Moreover, any confirmation or statement from Mahesh Babu's side is yet to be made.
In other news, the Kurchi Madathapetti star is currently busy with the shooting of his upcoming massive project, SSMB29, directed by SS Rajamouli. Touted to be a magnum opus in the making, the film also stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles.
Considering the stellar star cast of the film, fans seem to be on their toes with every passing update about the movie, since the makers have kept mum about revealing any details.
Lately, Mahesh Babu recently enjoyed a European vacation with his family. In pictures shared by his wife and former actor Namrata Shirodkar, he was seen enjoying the countryside and other touristy spots with them.
