File photo of Shah Rukh Khan, whose KKR has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate
Actor Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) cricket franchise has reportedly been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate over alleged forex violations.
Sources say the management of the Indian Premier League team has been asked to appear for questioning by this month-end on allegations that shares were undervalued. Mr Khan's co-owners in the franchise are his wife Gauri, industrialist Jai Mehta and his wife, actor Juhi Chawla.
Mr Khan's office has denied receiving any notice from the directorate. Any notice, his manager said, would go to KKR and not individuals.
The 49-year-old star was questioned four years ago in Mumbai on money illegally flowing into the multimillion dollar cricket league from foreign tax havens during the second season.
Sources say the actor was then asked to submit documents relating to the buying of players, advertising, revenue and the share holding pattern of his franchise.
