Mahadev Betting App Kingpin Arrested in Dubai, Extradition Imminent

Sourabh Chandrakar, accused of running a ₹6,000 crore illegal betting network, faces extradition to India following his arrest in the UAE.

Indian authorities are expediting the extradition process of Sourabh Chandrakar, arrested in Dubai under an Interpol Red Corner Notice.
Chandrakar and his associate, Ravi Uppal, allegedly operated the Mahadev betting app from Dubai, laundering thousands of crores through a network of call centers and apps.
The Enforcement Directorate claims the betting syndicate involved bribing officials and politicians in India to evade legal scrutiny.
Chandrakar's lavish lifestyle included a ₹200 crore wedding in the UAE, with Bollywood celebrities allegedly paid through illegal channels.
The investigation has led to the freezing of assets worth ₹572.41 crore, with multiple arrests and ongoing probes into the syndicate's operations.
