Mumbai: ED Swooped Film Production House In Mumbai; Apprehend One Of The Producers In Mahadev Book Betting App Case

Mumbai, 9th October 2023: In the ongoing continuation of the investigation regarding the Mahadev book betting app case, the Enforcement Directorate(ED) raided a place related to a film production house in Mumbai on Friday, along with one Bollywood producer who is allegedly associated with it.

Sources confirmed that a total of five places were raided by the ED in this case across the country, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chhatisgarh, and others. The current raid at the film production house in Mumbai was said to be the result of ED being suspicious that this film production house in Mumbai received financial help from Mahadev app promoters Saurabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal for the production of the films.

According to sources, the examination into the operation of the Andhri film production firm, which started on Friday, October 6, proceeded on Saturday as well. In this instance, the ED detained and looked into one of the producers.

The producer had last year announced the production of a high-budget film based on Shivaji Maharaj. The latest raid in Mumbai and the subsequent investigation of the film producer in Mumbai were said to be done on the tip-off to the ED, accusing the involvement of big celebrities and foreign players in the advertisements and endorsements of this app.

Earlier this week, Ranbir Kapoor was summoned by the ED for questioning regarding his alleged role in this matter.
