About the Mahadev betting app case
For the unversed, it all stemmed from an FIR that was apparently registered by the Matunga police in November 2023 on the basis of a complaint filed by a social activist, Prakash Bankar.
It was alleged in the complaint that several web portals were designed for online betting/gambling on cricket, football, tennis, and card games like Teen Patti, etc. The Style actor was one of the several accused named in the FIR, which was later transferred to the EOW (Economic Offense Wing) for investigation.
According to the FIR, Bankar discovered several online betting applications on social media. He alleged that the accused used social media platforms to prey on potential players and persuaded them to invest and sign up on the portal. The size of the scam is about Rs 15,000 crore, as mentioned in the FIR.
