In a recent development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has called actor Ranbir Kapoor to appear at their office in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, on October 6, 2023, in connection with the Mahadev online betting app case. However, it is important to note that Ranbir Kapoor has not been summoned as an accused but rather as a witness to shed light on the source of money he received for promoting the betting app.
According to sources within the ED, Kapoor’s questioning is crucial to understand the financial transactions related to the betting business and to ascertain his knowledge of the source of funds he received. The ED aims to gain insights into the workings of the Mahadev online betting app and the role of various individuals, including celebrities, in its promotion.
An ED source stated, “Ranbir Kapoor may not be part of the conspiracy, but it is very important to understand the scam.” Kapoor allegedly received payments for his promotional activities on behalf of the app. This move by the ED comes as part of a broader investigation into the Mahadev online betting app case, which has already raised eyebrows due to its alleged involvement in money laundering and illegal betting activities.Furthermore, it has been reported that several other celebrities and actors are also under the ED’s scrutiny in connection with this case and may be summoned for questioning in the near future. As the investigation unfolds, the ED aims to uncover the full extent of the alleged wrongdoing and identify those responsible for any illicit activities associated with the Mahadev betting app.
