According to a court petition seen by Reuters, Xiaomi’s top executives were threatened with “physical assault” and coercion while being questioned by India’s financial crime combating agency.

According to Xiaomi’s filing dated May 4, officials from the Enforcement Directorate warned Manu Kumar Jain, the company’s former India managing director, and Sameer B.S. Rao, the company’s current Chief Financial Officer, of “dire consequences” if they did not submit statements as requested by the agency.

A request for comment from the Enforcement Directorate was not immediately returned.
