Actor Ranbir Kapoor has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Oct 10 regarding the Mahadev online betting App case.
The app is allegedly run by Dubai residents Saurabh and Ravi Uppal.

Enabled with illegal betting on various online games like poker, card games, chance games, badminton, tennis, football and cricket.

Betting is illegal in India.

To open an app branch, one had to deposit around ₹20 lakh and become an 'admin' with the authority to assign unique IDs to customers.

These branches recruited agents who earned commissions of 6% to 8% when clients placed bets.

Users were provided with an ID and password to access the app for betting.

Branch managers, equipped with laptops, mobiles and other gadgets, facilitated online betting.


Numerous individuals connected to the Mahadev app's operation in various districts were arrested. Transactions worth ₹5,000 crores occurred across India in 2022 through the app.

Over 72 cases have been filed, resulting in 449 arrests nationwide.

196 laptops, 885 mobiles, various electronic devices, and over ₹40 lakh in cash confiscated.

About 1000 bank accounts linked to the app have been frozen.

The app had garnered 30-40 lakh customers through word-of-mouth referrals, boosting its credibility. Payments were mainly made through UPI-based systems, making it easier for the police to track bettors.

Users were encouraged to deposit money into savings bank accounts, many of which were fraudulent.
