MUMBAI: Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned actor Armaan Jain, grandson of late actor-director Raj Kapoor, on Wednesday in a money laundering case connected with Tops Grup—a private security firm— and Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik.
Recently, ED had searched Armaan's house at Padder Road and collected case related evidence.
Armaan had acted in few movies and he is close friend of Sarnaik’s son Vehang, who too is facing the money laundering investigation.
The ED alleged that Tops Grup promoter Rahul Nanda along with Sarnaik had cheated state government agency MMRDA by deploying 75% guards ( of total number of guards mentioned in the agreement) and raising bills after inflating the number of guards.
MMRDA had awarded the contract to Tops Grup in 2014 to provide security guards for foot-overbridges in the city. Sarnaik helped Nanda to get the contract and was getting Rs 6 lakh commission everyone month from Tops Grup through his associate Amit Chandole.
Official stated that they want to inquire Arman if he received any money from Sarnaik or Tops Grup.
