Mahadev Online Book App is allegedly serving as an umbrella for illegal betting sites

Ranbir Kapoor has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a case involving the Mahadev Online Book App.

Allegedly serving as an umbrella platform for illegal betting websites, these apps entice users, provide them with user IDs, and exploit them for money laundering.

Last month, the enforcement agency, specializing in financial fraud investigations, seized assets worth Rs 417 crore related to the online betting case. The company promoters, based in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, reportedly operated 4-5 similar apps, collectively generating a daily profit of around Rs 200 crore.
