About the app
ED alleged that Mahadev Online Book provides online platforms for illegal betting in different live games such as poker and other card games, chance games, cricket, badminton, tennis, football and others. It also claimed that the app is involved in providing an avenue to bet on different elections in India. The app also lets users play several card games such as ‘Teen Patti’, poker, ‘Dragon Tiger’, virtual cricket games, and more.
The ED’s probe has already led to the arrest of four people based out of Raipur in August including businessmen brothers Sunil and Anil Dammani, assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Chandra Bhushan Verma and Satish Chandrakar.
