A day after the Enforcement Directorate issued a summons to Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor asking him to look earlier than it for questioning on Friday, in reference to Mahadev betting utility cash laundering case, the company summoned fellow actors Huma Qureshi, Kapil Sharma and Hina Khan over the case.
There have been reviews that round 14-15 celebrities and actors are beneath the ED scanner on this case and might be summoned quickly.
Mahadev On-line Ebook App, promoted by Sourabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal, is an umbrella syndicate arranging on-line platforms for enabling unlawful betting web sites. The app was allegedly utilizing the net e-book betting utility to enrol new customers, create IDs and launder cash by a layered net of benami financial institution accounts, the ED had alleged.
Giant-scale hawala operations are accomplished to siphon off the proceeds of betting to off-shore accounts, the ED mentioned.
