Mumbai:

Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan returned to Mumbai Monday night after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned her in Delhi in connection with the Panama Papers leak case.

The Enforcement Directorate on Monday questioned Aishwarya for nearly 5 hours in the Panama Papers leak case. She showed up for questioning following the summons issued by the agency to join the probe.

The ED recorded the statement of the 48-year-old actor in the case over allegations of stashing wealth abroad in violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. She had earlier submitted records on the foreign payments under investigation.

The ED had issued notices to the Bachchan family asking them to explain their foreign remittances since 2004 under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) of the Reserve Bank of India.

ED sources said that Aishwarya had been summoned earlier too but she could not appear and sought a change of dates at least twice.
