The ED claimed that the statement of the 34-year-old actor was taken under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) at its zonal office here. According to the sources, the actress accepted some amount for appearing at an event of the app firm as a “celebrity”, and there were no “incriminating” charges against her.
