The Enforcement Directorate has reportedly interrogated actress Navya Nair in relation to a case of money laundering. Officials from the Enforcement Directorate have alleged that the arrested IRS officer, who is accused of illicitly acquiring wealth, has a close association with the actress. The Enforcement Directorate has claimed that Sachin Sawant had presented jewelry to Navya Nair. Nevertheless, the actress has refuted these claims, stating that they are merely friends.
The Enforcement Directorate has established a connection between the Malayalam actress Navya Nair and the IRS Sachin Sawant Money Laundering Case. In the course of the investigation, the ED has conducted an inquiry and documented the testimony of Navya Nair. The statement provided by Navya Nair, which forms a component of the ED chargesheet, was presented to a Special ED court last week.
As per a credible source, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted an investigation into the Sachin Sawant money laundering case, during which the probe agency gathered mobile data, chats, and statements from Sawant, leading to the discovery of Nair’s involvement. Officials from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) found that Sachin Sawant, an Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer, and Navya Nair shared a close relationship, with Sawant reportedly traveling to Cochin 8-10 times to meet Nair. However, when questioned by the ED, Navya Nair denied any such relationship or closeness, stating that they are friends.
On June 27, 2023, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) apprehended Sachin Balasaheb Sawant, who held the position of Additional Commissioner of Customs, in Lucknow, on charges related to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. Prior to his current role, Sawant had served as a Deputy Director for the ED Mumbai Zone 2.
