Dabur Group Chairman Mohit Burman and Director Gaurav Burman are among the 31 people named as accused in an FIR filed by the Mumbai Police in the Mahadev betting app case, India Today reported.
The FIR copy was accessed by India Today. It found out that industrialists Mohit Burman and Gaurav Burman are among the accused named in it.
The FIR was registered on November 7 based on a complaint by a Matunga resident social activist, Prakash Bankar. It revolves around Khiladi App, a subsidiary unit of the Mahadev app.
The app is run and promoted by Sourabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal, alongwith several other associates and partners.
Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating the Mahadev betting app case.
Earlier, they had claimed that a forensic analysis and a statement made by a ‘cash courier’ had led to “startling allegations” that Mahadev betting app promoters have paid about Rs 508 crore to the Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel so far, and that “these are subject matter of investigation”.
The BJP attacked Baghel over the Mahadev betting app case, alleging that he was the scam’s “kingpin” and during his term, looted the state to fill the Gandhi family’s coffers.
On November 5, the Centre issued blocking orders against 22 illegal betting platforms, including the Mahadev app and Reddyannaprestopro’, on ED’s request, an official statement said.
The action of banning the 22 illegal betting platforms follows investigations conducted by the ED against an illegal betting app syndicate and subsequent raids in connection with the Mahadev app in Chhattisgarh.
Mahadev betting app case:
The ED investigation has shown that Mahadev Online Book App is run from a central head office in the UAE, officials said, as per PTI. It operates by franchising “Panel/Branches” to their known associates on 70-30 per cent profit ratio, it had said.
Large scale hawala operations are done to siphon off the proceeds of betting to off-shore accounts, it had said.
