Many A-list Bollywood celebrities have been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for the Mahadev Betting App case.
Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Kapil Sharma, Hina Khan are a few actors who have been summoned by the ED.
The Mahadev gaming app allows users to gamble on games like poker, card games, chance games, badminton, tennis, football, and cricket.
The investigation by ED came to light after a lavish wedding in the UAE in February this year.
The company promoted by Sourabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal organised the wedding in which around ₹200 crore was paid in cash.
At the wedding Sourabh Chandrakar hired private jets to ferry family members from Nagpur to the UAE and paid celebrities from the Indian film industry to perform.
According to ED, promoter Chandrakar allegedly used the online book betting application to enrol new users, create IDs and launder money.
The ED investigation has shown that the Mahadev Online Book App is run from a central head office in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Several Bollywood stars, who attended or performed at Chandrakar’s wedding and the company’s success party in September last year, are under the ED scanner.
The Enforcement Directorate has frozen and seized assets worth ₹417 crore in connection with the Mahadev online betting case.
