According to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the Mahadev online betting app, with around 4,000 panel controllers in India, was reportedly making ₹200 crore per day. The ED's investigation into the money laundering case related to this app has led to several Bollywood celebrities being summoned for questioning.

After actor Ranbir Kapoor, actress Shraddha Kapoor was also summoned by the ED in connection with the Mahadev betting app case. Notably, comedian-actor Kapil Sharma and actor Hina Khan have also been called in for questioning.

While Ranbir Kapoor has requested a two-week extension, it remains uncertain whether Shraddha Kapoor will appear before the ED today. These summons have brought attention to Mahadev Online Book (MOB), an online betting firm at the center of the investigation.

The alleged masterminds behind the money laundering activities facilitated through online betting are Sourabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal. MOB has extended its network from its UAE headquarters to countries like India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Pakistan. Non-bailable warrants and lookout circulars have been issued against them by the ED.

Both Chandrakar and Uppal, who were once involved in small businesses, started MOB in Dubai, gradually gaining prominence in the world of online betting. The ED claims they had around 4,000 panel operators in India, each with 200 customers placing bets, resulting in daily earnings of ₹200 crore.

Additionally, the lavish wedding of Sourabh Chandrakar has come under scrutiny, with celebrities who participated in the event likely to be summoned as witnesses in the money laundering case. These celebrities were allegedly paid substantial fees through dubious transactions, with reports suggesting they received ₹40 crore for attending a party in Dubai.
