The Central Bureau of Investigation conducted coordinated raids at 33 locations across six Indian states, targeting panel operators suspected of involvement in the Mahadev App fraud.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) launched a series of raids on Thursday, sweeping through 33 locations spread over six states. The operation focused on offices and residences of panel operators believed to be facilitating the Mahadev mobile application fraud.
Investigators said the Mahadev App, promoted as a financial platform, has drawn scrutiny after users reported loss of funds and alleged misrepresentation. The CBI’s search warrants targeted individuals and entities that allegedly provided technical and logistical support to the scheme.
Senior CBI officials confirmed that the raids are part of a larger effort to trace the money trail and identify the masterminds behind the scam. They added that further actions, including arrests and seizure of assets, will follow based on the evidence gathered during the searches.
