Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor on Wednesday summoned by Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Mahadev online betting app case. He was directed to present in front of the probe agency on October 10.

Kapoor has been a social media influencer for the online betting platform and has reportedly received payments for carrying out promotional activities for the app.

Several top-notch celebrities including Bollywood actors, singers and comedians, are under the scanner of the probe agency for participating in the lavish wedding of Sourabh Chandrakar, the co-promoter of the online betting app, in Dubai. Agency sources said some of the celebrities are likely to be summoned as witnesses in the money laundering case against the platform.

The central investigating agency carried out searches in several cities including Kolkata, Bhopal, Mumbai in relation to the alleged money laundering networks connected with the Mahadev Online Book App, a betting platform headquartered in the UAE.

According to the case, large scale hawala operations are allegedly being done using the platform to siphon off proceeds of betting to off-shore accounts.
