Style actor Sahil Khan arrested in Chhattisgarh in Mahadev betting app case
Sahil Khan
Actor Sahil Khan has been arrested by the Mumbai Police for his alleged involvement in the Mahadev betting app case. The Style actor was detained in Chhattisgarh by the Special Investigating Team (SIT) of the Mumbai Police Cyber Cell after the Bombay High Court rejected his petition for interim bail.
According to reports, Khan had recently fled Mumbai and was on the run following the high court's decision. After a 40-hour-long operation with the assistance of the Chhattisgarh Police, the actor was located and nabbed. Khan will soon bebrought to Mumbai and produced before a court.
Last year, actors Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, who have appeared in ads for the app, were summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning. The Mahadev betting app came under scrutiny when it was revealed that it was operated by Saurabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal from Dubai, both originally from Chhattisgarh's Bhilai.
Earlier this week, actress Tamannaah Bhatia was summoned in connection with the promotion of a subsidiary app of Mahadev betting app. She has been asked to appear for questioning on April 29. Sanjay Dutt’s name has also emerged in connection with the case. He was supposed to appear for questioning earlier this week, however, he couldn’t appear due to his busy schedule and asked for a new date.
More than 20 influencers, who endorsed the FairPlay app on different platforms, are likely to be summoned soon to record their statements.
Despite Viacom18 owning the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) for streaming IPL matches, betting app FairPlay was streaming the matches illegally on their platform. This led to over Rs 100 crore loss for Viacom18.
