Mahadev betting app: Big breakthrough for ED, main accused Ravi Uppal arrested in Dubai

In a major development in the Mahadev Online Books betting money laundering case, one of the owners of the app, Ravi Uppal has been detained by the Dubai Police in UAE, sources said.

The sources said that Uppal has been detained based on the Red Notice issued against him by the INTERPOL at the request of the Indian financial probe agency, the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

However, the ED sources remained tight-lipped.

Uppal is being probed by the ED in a money laundering case linked to the alleged illegal betting apart from the Chhattisgarh Police and Mumbai Police.

The ED in October this year had filed a charge sheet against Uppal and another promoter Sourabh Chandrakar, before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur.

As per the ED, the projected proceeds of crime in this case are about Rs.6,000 crore.

The anti-money laundering agency said the officials are in touch with authorities in the Arab country to deport Uppal, who was detained last week, to India.
