Actress Rhea Chakraborty has been summoned in connection with the alleged HIBOX app scam case by the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) Unit of the Delhi Police Special Cell to join the investigation on Wednesday (October 9).

This is seen as part of an elaborate scam that reportedly defrauded nearly 30,000 people, who were lured into investing in Hibox mobile app by promising high returns on false assurance of daily interest rate ranging from 1 to 5 percent a day.

In addition to these platforms, around 20 other firms are under scrutiny for allegedly laundering money connected to the scam.

The app, according to police reports, lured investors with promises of guaranteed returns and resulted in a fraud estimated at Rs 500 crore
