In connection with a case involving online betting, the Enforcement Directorate has summoned Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor. The ED has asked the actor to appear on October 6 for interrogation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kapoor has reportedly received money for performing promotional tasks for the app while serving as a social media influencer for the online betting company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In connection with the ongoing investigation into the Mahadev online betting case, the investigating agency is likely to request statements from additional prominent Bollywood actors and singers. Last month several actors, singers and comedians attended the wedding and the success party of Sourabh Chandrakar, the promoter of the Mahadev Book app, in the UAE in February of this year<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These included Tiger Shroff, Sunny Leone, Neha Kakkar, Atif Aslam, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Ali Asgar, Vishal Dadlani, Elli AvrRam, Bharti Singh, Bhagyashree, Kriti Kharbanda, Nushrratt Bharuccha, Krushna Abhishek and Sukhwinder Singh..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In reference to the alleged money laundering networks linked with the Mahadev Online Book App, a betting platform with its headquarters in the UAE, the central investigative agency conducted searches in a number of locations, including Kolkata, Bhopal, and Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The platform is reportedly being used in large-scale hawal operations to divert gambling winnings to offshore accounts, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to sources, the platform’s promoter allegedly spent Rs 200 crore rupees on the wedding, and the agency is attempting to follow the money to identify the eventual beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Celebrities who participated in the wedding received payments handsomely through questionable dubious trades, according to the reports. The promoters of the betting site reportedly paid the celebrities Rs 40 crore to attend a party at a seven-star luxury hotel in Dubai on September 18 of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sources claimed that celebrities were hired to perform at the wedding, private jets were booked to transport the bride’s family from Nagpur to the UAE. Mumbai’s wedding planners, dancers, and decorators were also hired, and hawala channels were used to process the payments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
