Actor Armaan Jain, cousin of actors Ranbir Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, reached the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) office in South Mumbai on Wednesday morning for questioning in connection with an alleged money laundering case involving security service provider TopsGrup and Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik.


Jain reached the ED office at around 9.50 am. On a previous occasion but he did not appear despite being summoned.


The ED wants to question him in connection with business dealings, if any, with Sarnaik’s son Vihang Sarnaik, who is reportedly a close friend of Jain. The directorate claims it has come across several communications between the two. The investigators had also searched Jain's premises in the past. But the agency later stopped the searches following the death of Jain's uncle Rajiv Kapoor.

Recently, the ED had conducted searches at Armaan's residence at Peddar Road, where he lives with his mother Reema Jain. The investigating agency had reportedly collected case-related evidence from Armaan’s home.


Armaan Jain marked his Bollywood debut in 2014 with ‘Lekar Hum Deewana Dil’. In 2020, the actor tied the knot with Anissa Malhotra and their wedding was one star studded affair.
