In a latest report regarding the Mahadev betting app case, actors Hina Khan, Huma Qureshi, and comedian Kapil Sharma have requested a one-week extension from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in order to comply with their summons. The central agency first requested the three people to show up for questioning on October 6 as part of the continuing investigation into the Mahadev betting app issue.

The ED was notified by Kapil Sharma of his abroad filming obligations, which preclude him from showing up on the previously planned day. As a result, he has asked for an extra week to complete his ED summons.
Likewise, Huma Qureshi and Hina Khan have asked for a one-week postponement and have stated personal excuses for their unavailability on the scheduled day.
All three were previously called to appear in court on October 5 in connection with the betting app case. The online betting platform came under fire in February of this year after an extravagant $200 million wedding in the United Arab Emirates that featured star performances.
ED’s Investigations and Actions
The Mahadev Online Betting app, according to officials, is a covert syndicate that allowed illicit betting websites to sign up new customers, generate user IDs, and launder money via a complex network of benami bank accounts. It is believed that the business Sourabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppalis promoted operated out of Dubai. In the meantime, prominent government officials received payments called “protection money.”
In connection with the case, the ED carried out searches at 39 locations and confiscated illicit assets totaling 417 crore. Additionally, the suspects were the subject of non-bailable warrants issued by a PMLA special court in Raipur.
Ranbir Kapoor and other famous people from the movie and sports sectors are reportedly also thought to have participated in promotional campaigns for the Mahadev betting app.

The Enforcement Directorate previously claimed that it had been successful in locating the key participants in the money laundering schemes. The primary liaison of the betting syndicate was one of four persons who were detained last month during searches in Chhattisgarh.
