The young and recognizable Abdu Rozik, who gained fame through his participation in Bigg Boss season 16, is currently embroiled in a money laundering case. Linked to the investigation of alleged drug lord Ali Asghar Shirazi, Rozik was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to provide his testimony. This development follows shortly after Shiv Thakare’s interaction with the ED.
Rozik made his way to the ED’s Mumbai office on Tuesday afternoon to submit his statement. In this case, the ED intends to document Rozik’s testimony as a witness to the alleged money laundering operations.
Rozik, known for his youthful looks despite being 20, had previously represented the well-known burger chain, Burgiir, as a brand ambassador under Hustlers Hospitality, from which he received considerable royalties. The probe by the ED suggests that Shirazi had invested a significant sum in the Burgiir chain through Hustlers Hospitality.
The ED, which had sent an email summoning Rozik for a Tuesday appearance, is set to scrutinize his promotional contract, the compensation he received, and his ties with Shirazi. Following the revelation of Shirazi’s suspected involvement in drug financing, Rozik ended his partnership with Hustlers Hospitality. In a related move, the ED conducted a search at the Burgiir establishment, uncovering a black diary filled with transaction details and several other documents.
