The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has apprehended Abhishek Kumar, the alleged mastermind behind the ₹6,000 crore Mahadev online betting operation. His arrest occurred after he returned from Dubai, as confirmed by the agency on Thursday.
It, however, did not clarify whether Kumar came to India on his own or was deported from Dubai on India’s request. “Efforts are being made to bring the main promoters – Chandrakar and Uppal – of the Mahadev Betting App back to India to face trial.
The agency said it arrested Kumar at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad and produced him before a court in Raipur. So far, seven red notices and two extradition proposals have been sent and extradition proceedings against the two accused are underway,” the CBI said.
