ED Files Case Against Myntra for Alleged FDI Violations
Imagine Myntra, an online store, got money from foreign investors.
The government has rules about how these stores can work.
The government thinks Myntra pretended to be something it wasn't to get around these rules.
They say Myntra was really selling things to customers, but said they were selling to another company first.
This is against the rules, and the government is investigating.
They believe Myntra broke the rules, and now they're looking into it more closely.
