Mahadev Betting App Case

The Mahadev Betting App Case is a high-profile scandal involving an online betting platform that enabled illegal gambling on various games, including poker, card games, badminton, tennis, football, and cricket. The app was operated by Dubai-based Saurabh Chandrakar, a former juice seller, and his accomplice Ravi Uppal, both of whom hail from Chhattisgarh, according to the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The ED has alleged that the app operated by franchising "panel/branches" to known associates on a 70-30 profit ratio, using the platform to enroll new users, create IDs, and launder money through a complex network of Benaim bank accounts. The operation reportedly generated an astounding ₹200 crore daily.[1][2][3][4][5]
