MUMBAI: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his Kolkata Knight Riders co-owners, B-Town actress Juhi Chawla and her husband Jay Mehta, have been served Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons for allegedly violating FEMA norms, official sources said here on Wednesday.

The ED move follows a notice sent in March this year and SRK and others would be required to appear before the agency by the May-end.
