Actress Nidhhi Agerwal, who was recently seen alongside superstar Prabhas in The Raja Saab, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate office in Hyderabad for extensive questioning regarding an ongoing investigation into the illegal promotion of online betting applications. Arriving under heavy police escort, the actress wore a face mask and maintained a complete silence, refusing to interact with the gathered paparazzi and media personnel as she was whisked inside the premises. Officials from the federal agency reportedly interrogated her for nearly four hours regarding allegations surrounding financial transactions, endorsement fees, and commissions she allegedly received for promoting banned gambling applications through her social media channels. This marks a significant escalation in the federal agency’s money laundering probe, coming several months after she was previously summoned and questioned by the Criminal Investigation Department in connection with the same matter.
The high-profile legal trouble originates from an official complaint lodged by local businessman PM Phanindra Sarma at the Miyapur Police Station in Hyderabad. In his petition, Sarma highlighted a concerning social media trend where prominent film stars and digital influencers were actively endorsing illegal gambling applications, directly swaying impressionable youth into risking their money on unauthorized betting platforms. Following the complaint, an FIR was registered under the Public Gambling Act, eventually leading the Enforcement Directorate to file an Enforcement Case Information Report under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Agerwal is among more than twenty high-profile celebrities and influencers named in the broader investigation, including popular figures such as Rana Daggubati, Prakash Raj, Vijay Deverakonda, and Manchu Lakshmi, as authorities continue to crack down on unauthorized betting networks across the country.
