Mahadev betting case: ED attaches fresh assets worth Rs 941 crore

Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached additional assets worth ₹940.77 crore in the Mahadev Online Book illegal betting app case, taking the total value of assets attached, seized or frozen under its money laundering investigation to nearly ₹3,800 crore, the agency said on Friday.

The attached assets include residential properties, land parcels, equity shares and other securities.

Earlier this year, one of the alleged masterminds, Saurabh Chabdrakar, was held by the Royal Oman Police for allegedly entering the country using a forged Indonesian passport after leaving the UAE.


Indian authorities, through the ministry of external affairs, have initiated the extradition process in coordination with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). He had earlier been held by Dubai police and kept under house arrest, but managed to escape, according to sources.

According to the agency, the latest provisional attachment order, issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) by the ED's Raipur Zonal Office, covers movable and immovable properties of Vikas Garg, his family members, and entities allegedly owned or controlled by him.
