Noted Bollywood actor and Trinamool Congress MP Mithun on Tuesday surrendered to Enforcement Directorate (ED) an amount of about Rs 1.2 crore that he had received from scam-hit Saradha group of companies for being its brand ambassador. The actor had done so to back his claim to investigators that his association with Saradha Group was "purely professional" and that he had no intentions of cheating or duping anyone.
Mithun had also promised he would deposit the amount of Rs 1.2 crore he had received from Saradha Group so that it may be finally restored to the depositors who were allegedly cheated in the scam.
Mithun shot to fame in Telugu film industry as he played pivotal role in Pawan Kalyan-Venkatesh starrer Gopala Gopala. He will also be seen in upcoming Telugu movie Malupu which stars Aadhi Pinisetty. Mithun's kind gesture of returning Rs 1.2 Crore has earned appreciation from various sections. Not many would think of returning the fee they receive. Mithun definitely stood as good example by showcasing his big heart.
