Kapil Sharma, Huma Qureshi, and Hina Khan summoned by ED
As per an India Today report, the Enforcement Directorate has summoned several prominent figures, including Kapil Sharma, Huma Qureshi, and Hina Khan, in connection with their rumored involvement in promoting a subsidiary app of the online betting platform Mahadev Bookcase. Following Ranbir Kapoor's summon, these three celebrities are required to appear before the ED on October 6. Additionally, celebrities who attended the extravagant wedding of one of the app's promoters, Sourabh Chandrakar, in Dubai, will also be summoned, alongside influencers and social media personalities who endorsed the app.
India Today claimed that according to the digital evidence with ED, a whooping Rs 112 crore was funneled through hawala channels to an event management firm. Not just it, it was also stated that bills amounting to Rs 42 crore to pay for hotel books were also settled in cash last month. While Kapil, Huma Qureshi, and Hina have not yet reacted to the summon, News18 reported that Ranbir’s team allegedly contacted the ED and requested two weeks’ time to appear before them.
News 18 also quoted a source saying that Ranbir has not been summoned as an accused. “Ranbir Kapoor has been summoned to understand the betting business transactions. At this point, he has not been summoned as accused. His questioning is important to know his knowledge about the money sources he received. It will possibly indicate the plans of the promoters and their association. Ranbir Kapoor may not be part of a conspiracy but very important to understand the scam,” the unnamed source said. Furthermore, it’s been alleged that the promoters of the Mahadev app, Sourabh Chandrakar, and Ravi Uppal, used money earned from the betting to pay celebrities in cash for advertising the application.
