NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned afresh Tony Fernandes and other top executives of Malaysia-based AirAsia Bhd as well as R Venkataramanan, former director of AirAsia India, over allegations of money laundering. The agency has asked Venkataramanan to appear before it on February 10, said people aware of the matter.
Venkataramanan was the Tata Sons nominee on the board of AirAsia India, a joint venture between the two entities. He stepped down as managing trustee of the Tata Trusts in March last year and later exited AirAsia India. Venkataramanan didn’t respond to queries.
