The CBI’s special team repatriated Saurabh Chandrakar, the chief promoter of the Mahadev online betting app, from Oman to India on Sunday evening, and he appeared before a Delhi court.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) dispatched a special team to Oman and returned Saurabh Chandrakar, identified as the main promoter of the Mahadev online gambling application, to India on Sunday evening. His arrival in Delhi was coordinated with the agency’s ongoing probe into illegal betting platforms.
Chandrakar is alleged to have played a pivotal role in promoting and operating the Mahadev app, which facilitates unauthorized gambling activities across the country. The CBI’s operation underscores its focus on dismantling cross‑border networks that enable illicit betting.
Following his return, Chandrakar was presented before a Delhi court, where the magistrate recorded his appearance. He is expected to face charges related to unlawful gambling and any associated financial violations, pending further investigation and trial proceedings.
