Armaan
Jain
reportedly
was
summoned
in
an
alleged
money
laundering
case
on
Thursday
(February
11),
but
failed
to
appear
before
the
Enforcement
Directorate
(ED).
Notably,
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
and
Karisma
Kapoor's
cousin
Armaan
Jain
is
the
son
of
Rima

-

An

"Enforcement
Directorate
had
summoned
Armaan
Jain
in
an
alleged
money
laundering
case
today.
He
didn't
appear
before
the
agency
today."
Meanwhile,
it
has
also
been
reported
that
ED
had
raided
Armaan's
Mumbai
residence,
hours
before
the
news
of
his
uncle
Rajiv
Kapoor's
demise
was
made
public.
While
his
mother
was
allowed
to
visit
the
grieving
family,
Armaan
was
permitted
to
leave
only
for
the
funeral
after
the
raid
concluded.
Armaan
Jain's
name
reportedly
cropped
up
during
ED's
probe
in
the
money
laundering
case
in
connection
with

Group,
a
private
security
company
and

Sena
MLA

is
reportedly
a
close
friend
of
Pratap
Sarnaik's
son
Vihang,
and
the
police
wanted
to
question
the
star
kid
about
the
commission
amount
generated
through
Tops
Group
and
the
Mumbai
Metropolitan
Region
Development
Authority
(MMRDA)
deal.
The
probe
began
in
November
2020
when
ED
launched
searches
at
ten
properties
of
Pratap
Sarnaik
in
Mumbai
as
well
as
Thane.
The
agency
is
reportedly
investigating
claims
of
misappropriation
in
a
contract
bagged
by
Tops
Group
with
theMMRDA.
The
ED
reportedly
arrested
Amit
Chandole,
an
alleged
associate
of

and
Tops
Group

Director
M
Shashidharan
in
December
2020,
under
