Since Govinda reportedly endorsed the company’s promotional videos, he will be questioned. In an interaction with the Times of India, EOW inspector general JN Pankaj said:

“We will soon send a team to Mumbai to question filmstar Govinda, who had attended STA’s grand function in Goa in July and promoted the company in some videos.”

Govinda is neither a suspect nor an accused

Since Govinda reportedly STA functions and promoted the company, his involvement in the scam is yet to be verified. JN Pankaj further stated:

“His exact role in the case can be ascertained only after investigation. If we find that his role was limited to only endorsement of the product (STA-Token brand) as per their business agreement, then we will make him a witness in our case.”
