Apart from providing investigators the documents related to the case, Khan also recorded his version about the incident under the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
The singer was summoned for a ‘personal appearance’ and questioning by the agency.
The case pertains to the probe FEMA investigated against him and his associates in 2014 after the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), in 2011, intercepted Khan and his manager, Marrouf Ali Khan, at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi for allegedly carrying an undeclared amount of $124,000 and some other instruments in foreign currency.
