In his official statement, Shankar expressed deep disappointment, calling the ED’s move baseless.
He stated that there was already legal clarity that no copyright violation had occurred. He also mentioned that he hadn’t received any official communication from the ED and only learned about the property attachment through media reports.

Calling it a “misuse of legal process,” he urged authorities to review their decision. If they fail to do so, he confirmed that he will appeal against the attachment order.
