Mahadev betting scam: Tamannaah Bhatia summoned by Maharashtra cyber wing in illegal IPL 2023 streaming case
According to officials, Bollywood actress Tamannaah Bhatia has been summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber Police for the ongoing investigations into the multi-crore Mahadev online gambling and betting scam.
The actress has been asked to appear before the Cyber Police on Monday, April 29, to record her statement as a witness for the investigations into the alleged illegal streaming of the IPL 2023 series on the app.
According to the officials, Bhatia had allegedly endorsed and promoted the online viewing of IPL matches on the Fairplay app, one of the group apps of Mahadev.
The Mahadev app scam is being probed by inter-state and Central agencies. Over six dozen FIRs were lodged all over India in the case and as the money-laundering angle emerged, the Enforcement Directorate also started its probe.
The app scam is reported to run into an estimated over Rs.6,000 crore.
After the scam erupted in 2021, the involvement of many celebrities, entertainment world personalities, business folks, and others, ostensibly with political patronage, came to the fore.
