She was also accused of being involved in the money laundering and disproportionate assets case against her husband by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) 2012.

She allegedly received and transferred huge amounts of money from various sources, violating the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

She was issued notices and summons by the ED and was asked to appear before the agency. She challenged the notices and summons in the court and sought relief from the proceedings.
