The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai has officially stated that they are not investigating actress Preity Zinta in connection to the New Cooperative Bank scam. This news comes after concerns were raised about a loan of Rs. 18 crore that was granted to her and later written off. In a recent statement, EOW officials clarified that Preity's name is not involved in any current investigations and they have not received any complaints against her. Despite the ongoing discussions about her on social media, the authorities have made it clear that there is no ongoing investigation into her involvement.
The EOW is primarily focused on investigating the embezzlement of Rs. 122 crore by bank officials, which is at the center of the scam. As for Preity, she remains unaffected by the investigations at this time. On Tuesday, the actress spoke out against the Congress party's Kerala unit for spreading false information and using her name and popularity for their political agenda. This came after reports linked her to a bank loan from the recently collapsed New India Cooperative Bank.
The Kerala Congress accused Preity of allowing her social media platforms to be used by the BJP and receiving an Rs.18 crore loan from the bank, which was allegedly written off by the ruling government without proper recovery procedures. Preity, however, rubbished these accusations and called out the Congress' state unit for promoting fake news. She clarified that no loan was written off for her and that any loans she had taken were paid back in full over 10 years ago.
The actress took to her social media accounts to refute the claims made by the Kerala Congress and expressed her disappointment in a political party using her name for their own gain. She also urged for the truth to be known and for there to be no misunderstandings about her involvement in the future.
Preity's name was brought into the spotlight when the corruption within the New India Cooperative Bank was exposed. The bank ultimately collapsed, leading the RBI to impose strict restrictions on its operations. However, Preity has made it clear that she was not involved in any wrongdoing and hopes that this will put an end to any further speculations.
