Earlier this year, Bhumi was also questioned by the ED regarding the case.

Bhumi then added to her statement that she did not receive any gift from the conman or his executive nor had she ever met them or had “any sort of personal interaction, either social or professional, with them.”

Sara Ali Khan on the other hand told to ED that she did not know anyone by the name of Sukesh Chandrasekhar. But someone in the name of “Mr Suraj Reddy did WhatsApp her on May 21, 2021 and claimed that he would like to gift her a car as a family gesture. He also mentioned that his CEO Mrs Irani had tried to contact her.”

The Kedarnath actress then said that even after her constant refusal, Reddy continued to insist on giving her gifts.

“However, after many attempts of refusing him, she did agree on receiving a box of chocolates from him and thereafter he sent a Franck Muller watch along with the chocolates,” the ED said.
