Popular actor Vijay Deverakonda has appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with an ongoing investigation into illegal betting apps. The ED had summoned him to question his alleged links to a money laundering case tied to online betting platforms that are under scrutiny for financial irregularities and suspected connections with foreign entities.
According to sources, Vijay D’s name reportedly came up during the questioning of other individuals connected to the case, prompting the agency to call him in for clarification. This is not the first time celebrities have been linked to betting app controversies, as many of these platforms have allegedly used popular faces for promotional events and endorsement deals.
The actor’s representatives have maintained that he is cooperating fully with authorities and is confident that his name will be cleared. The investigation is still in its early stages, and the ED is expected to question more individuals in the coming days as part of a broader crackdown on illegal online betting and associated money laundering activities.
As the probe continues, this case adds to the growing scrutiny on digital platforms involved in illegal financial operations, highlighting the importance of compliance and due diligence by celebrities and influencers.
