Actor Rana Daggubati arrived at the Enforcement Directorate (ED) headquarters in Hyderabad on Monday as part of an ongoing inquiry into the alleged illegal promotion of online betting platforms. The actor was previously summoned in July; however, due to his prior commitments, Rana rescheduled it to August 11. 

Rana Daggubati, Vijay Deverakonda and Prakash Raj were summoned

The summons to Daggubati comes after a string of ED interrogations involving celebrities connected to the issue. Daggubati, who was initially summoned on July 23 but requested extra time due to film commitments, was rescheduled to appear on August 11.

On August 6, actor Vijay Deverakonda appeared before the agency, only days after Prakash Raj was questioned on July 30. Raj was one of 29 celebrities named in an FIR filed by the Cyberabad police, accusing actors and influencers of pushing betting applications via digital marketing. He has stated that he withdrew from his affiliation with the gaming software Junglee Rummy in 2017 after understanding it was wrong.
