According to a report by the Times of India, the Enforcement Directorate has issued a summon to Rakul Preet Singh for inquiry into the allegations of money laundering in connection to the drugs case. She received the latest summons for the second time.

Alongside many other celebrities in Tollywood, Rakul was questioned by the central agency once in September 2021. In 2020, Rakul was also questioned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in a Bollywood drugs case. Now, Rakul was asked to appear before the agency before December 19, Times Now has reported. Along with Rakul, an MLA from Telangana was also summoned, as per the reports.
