Sourabh Chandrakar, the absconding founder of the Mahadev betting app, has been detained in Oman based on an Interpol Red Notice. Indian agencies are now working to extradite or deport him. The ED's investigation into the syndicate has revealed alleged proceeds of crime worth Rs 6,000 crore and links to high-ranking politicians and bureaucrats.
Chandrakar along with another promoter of the app, Ravi Uppal was detained and put under "house arrest" in that country late last year following the ED's request for issuance of a Red Notice (RN) against them.
The Enforcement Directorate may also file a fresh chargesheet in this multi-crore money laundering case soon, they said.
Observing that the case did not fall under the category of the rarest of rare cases, the SC commuted the death sentence awarded to Mallah by the trial court to life imprisonment.
