What is the case about?

For the unversed, the Mahadev betting apps have different games, lotteries and betting options for everything under the sun, including the prediction of election results, weather, matches etc. These have been operational for the past four years. The online app, like other Ponzi schemes, targeted the lower-income group. The games, the lotteries and betting options were all rigged where the ‘players’ always lost money and the company gained.
