Mumbai, Jan 3 (NationPress) Television actress Pooja Banerjii has publicly addressed the incorrect accusations leveled against her in a money laundering investigation, expressing her dissatisfaction regarding the recent claims.
In an emotional note posted on social media, Pooja made it clear that she had been unjustly implicated in the case, with her name, image, and credentials disseminated by numerous media sources.
Banerjii, who was in South Africa with her family at the time the allegations surfaced, voiced her annoyance with the media's handling of the affair. She pointed out that many media organizations failed to verify the information with her or her team prior to publishing the misleading reports. Despite her attempts to reach out to various journalists for clarification, Pooja stated that some chose to disregard her, while others hesitated to retract their stories due to their pride.
In her Instagram post, she stated, “Hello my dear well-wishers, A Very Happy New Year to all of you. I wouldn’t have wanted to put this up as my first post of 2025 but sadly the last few days have been rather disappointing and filled with remorse. I was recently falsely blamed for a money laundering case, sadly the news was circulated by almost all the media pages and outlets with my name, picture and my credentials. I wasn’t aware of this news as I was in South Africa with my family when the false allegations were made without any comment from me or my team.”
“My family members were extremely distressed with such a huge false allegation being spread all over the news that we have decided to go the legal route in order to clear my standing that no such breach of law was done by me and to all my family, friends, and well-wishers I’m sorry if this false news has hurt you but I will stand against lies and make sure that this doesn’t happen with anyone and the media who still didn’t believe me, Definitely do a double cross-check on such baseless reports. I request for everyone’s support in my cause.. #satyamevajayate to all the media people, you have real power to change the world and I truly believe in it, my request is that the faith of such people shouldn’t waiver,” her post continued.
Last month, actress Mallika Sherawat and Kumkum Bhagya star Pooja Banerjee were interrogated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) concerning their purported links to a Pakistani betting platform, Magicwin.
