EaseMyTrip, a publicly listed company, informed the stock exchanges (BSE and NSE) of the development under regulatory compliance norms. The company emphasized transparency and assured stakeholders that operations remain unaffected.
In an official media statement , the company clarified that it has no connection to the betting platform under investigation.
“As per information available in the public domain, the ED conducted searches at over 50 locations of various persons/ corporates. Amongst them one was EaseMyTrip premises.
While EaseMyTrip has no direct or indirect association with the Mahadev Betting App or any other betting platform, we remain fully committed to cooperating with the authorities throughout the course of the investigation,” said a company spokesperson.
