Panama Case
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan summoned by ED in Panama Papers case
New Delhi/IBNS: Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Panama Papers case, media reports said.
Aishwarya, the daughter-in-law of acting legend Amitabh Bachchan and wife of actor Abhishek Bachchan, has been alleged to have stashed her wealth abroad.
She has been asked to appear before the ED within 15 days, initial reports said.
In one of the worst scandals involving huge number of rich and famous across the globe, a massive leak of 11.5 million tax documents has exposed the secret offshore dealings of aides to Russian president Vladimir Putin, Chinese Premier Xi Jinping, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and celebrities including Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and actor Jackie Chan, reports said.
Five hundred Indians including Amitabh Bachchan are also named in the documents.
Rubbishing the allegations, Bachchan had earlier denied suggestions of him having any kind of links with offshore companies listed in the Panama papers leak.
Bachchan said his name might have been 'misused'.
