After receiving a summons from the CCB, Radhika appeared at their office in Bengaluru at 11 AM and was questioned for around four hours, said CCB sources, according to a PTI report.

Yuvaraj Swamy, who was arrested for duping the realtor, allegedly transferred the money into Radhika’s account. He was also brought to the CCB office for questioning.

Speaking before entering the CCB office, he said that he has known the actress’ family for almost 18 years.

After leaving the CCB office, Radhika told reporters that she answered all the questions posed by the police. “There isn’t any problem. I will come back if they (police) call me again,” she said, adding that she cannot reveal everything she was asked during the questioning.

When asked, Radhika denied ever receiving Rs 1.25 crores from Yuvaraj and that she was not absconding, as was reported by some television channels.

According to PTI, in a statement issued later, the CCB said, “A detailed inquiry was done by the investigating officer Assistant Commissioner of Police Nagaraj. Further investigation will be based on her statement.”

It can be recalled that on Wednesday, Radhika had told reporters that she had received Rs 15 lakh from Yuvaraj to make a period film.

Yuvaraj was arrested by the CCB in December after a realtor filed a complaint alleging that he was duped to the tune of Rs 10 crores with the promise of a ticket to contest in an election. Yuvaraj has previously identified himself with a right wing party.

It is said that the accused Yuvraj Swamy has duped many VVIPs including actors, businessmen and politicians.

Earlier, cash of Rs 26 lakhs and cheques for Rs 91 crores was recovered from Yuvaraj’s residence during a raid.
