Saurabh Chandrakar has been ordered to spend eight days in police custody as part of the investigation into the Mahadev betting application.
Police officials in a recent operation placed Saurabh Chandrakar under custodial detention for a period of eight days, citing his alleged involvement in the Mahadev betting application case. The magistrate approved the request after reviewing the prosecution's submission, which highlighted Chandrakar's suspected role in facilitating illegal gambling activities through the app.
Investigators have said the Mahadev platform is alleged to have enabled unauthorized betting, violating several provisions of the Information Technology Act and the Public Gambling Act. Chandrakar, whose background includes work in the technology sector, is being questioned about his connections to the app's developers and operators.
The custody order does not preclude further legal action; authorities indicated that additional charges could be filed depending on the outcome of the interrogation. No statement was released by Chandrakar's legal counsel at the time of reporting.
