Enforcement Directorate officers arrested the Mahadev betting app promoter in Raipur after his extradition from Oman, under the anti-money laundering law. The accused, 31, was remanded in ED custody until November 19 by a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act court in Raipur, officials said. Earlier, a special CBI court had sent him to judicial custody until November 19 after his CBI arrest on November 12. Officers brought him to Delhi on November 1 after a court in Oman approved his extradition on October 8. The ED and the CBI are investigating alleged money laundering, corruption and cheating connected to the Mahadev online betting app. The ED said investigators will confront him in custody with statements of associates, digital data, and documents tied to alleged foreign entities, as well as evidence of money laundering. The agency also repeated allegations that an event linked to the promoter’s 2023 wedding cost about Rs 200 crore in cash, and that three chartered aircraft were allegedly used to fly guests. The ED alleged the app, also known as Mahadev Online Book, began operating in 2019-20, expanded sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic, and continued growing afterward. It said the operation allegedly generated proceeds of crime worth Rs 80,000 crore since 2019, and described the accused as the principal promoter, collector and beneficiary. The latest status is that he remains in ED custody until November 19 as the agency examines statements, digital records and documents tied to the case.
