Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi Corp has alleged its top executives faced threats of "physical violence" and coercion during questioning by Enforcement Directorate (ED), according to a court filing seen by Reuters.
Officials from ED warned the company's former India managing director, Manu Kumar Jain, current Chief Financial Officer Sameer B.S. Rao, and their families of "dire consequences" if they did not submit statements as desired by the agency, Xiaomi's filing dated May 4 stated.
The Enforcement Directorate did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Xiaomi has been under investigation since February and last week ED seized $725 million
