'Friendship' with Amar Singh, Big B pays off, gets ED notice

Mumbai, Jun 4: It seems that the Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has been forced to pay off for his "friendship" with the sacked Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh. Enforcement Directorate (ED) sent notice to Big B.

A money laundering case has been filed against the controversy-ridden leader, Amar Singh. Sources said that Amar Singh, during his tenure as UP Development Council, had allegedly accumulated a wealth of Rs 400 crore at the expense of the ex-chequer.

Amitabh Bachchan and Amara Singh's wife along with the former SP leader have been summoned by the ED to start investigation in the case. Singh has been accused of delivering multi-crore of contracts to some companies which allegedly paid kickbacks to Singh.

Amitabh Bachchan, who backed the Mumbai youth over Maharashtra government's law on liquor consumption, received the ED notice which may haunt the superstar for a long time.
