Mahadev App case is headlining and the Mumbai Police files FIR against 32 persons
Mumbai police’s 25-page FIR lists the names of 31 persons.
The Mahadev App case has been hitting the headlines and names of prominent persons including some of the names of Bollywod Celebrities has figured in the case.l
However, Bankar, in his complaint, alleges that a large number of people had been defrauded of nearly ₹15,000 crore through the betting app and he has levelled allegations of match-fixing against the accused Mohit Burman who has direct equity in one of the teams in the IPL cricket league.
As per an official privy to the case in the Mahadev betting case, ED has seized assets worth ₹417 crore and a probe has been launched, and they have named the app’s promoters Saurabh Chandrakar, Ravi Uppal and Shubham Soni as the key accused for committing the fraud since 2019 until now.
The Enforcement Directorate recently claimed that it was on the basis of a forensic analysis and a statement made by a ‘cash courier’ Asim Das that led to ‘startling allegations’ on the Mahadev betting app promoters who had paid about ₹508 crore to Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel.
Wasting no time, the BJP released a video of Soni claiming ownership of the app and had ‘proof’ of payment of ₹508 crore so far to Baghel.
The Central agency has already arrested four persons and seized proceeds of crime worth over ₹450 crore.
The Mumbai police’s 25-page FIR lists the names of 31 persons.
An officer reveals that they suspect Khan, who was seen in a video of a party hosted by the promoters of the app in Dubai, was not just promoting and making huge profits, but also running another app.
The Centre bans 22 betting apps, including Mahadev Book Online. The complaint accused kingpin Chandrakar and others of being involved in ‘match-fixing’ of major cricket matches and tournaments organised and hosted in India, to make huge profits.
Bankar also alleged that the match-fixing operations were done through Chandrakar’s London-based ‘partner’ Dinesh Khambat and Chander Aggarwal, whose names were also figured in the FIR.
The police suspect that Aggarwal is working in close collaboration with Mohit Burman, who in turn, is connected to Khambhat and
Burman. These individuals have come together to oversee and operate the Khiladi Book website.
However, the officer did not divulge further information over the involvement of Mohit Burman and Gaurav Burman, stating that a probe was on.
Meanwhile, the Dabur Group and Burman family blatantly deny of any connection to the alleged betting app scam.
The FIR is patently false and baseless.
