Sourabh Chandrakar, one of the two main promoters of the illegal Mahadev gambling app, is accused of laundering an estimated ₹5,000 crore. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is currently investigating the case.
Chandrakar's rise from humble beginnings to casino kingpin is a story of ambition and greed. In his twenties, Chandrakar used to sell juice in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. However, he soon turned to gambling and quickly became one of the biggest gamblers in the region.
In 2017, Chandrakar and his associate Amit Kumar started the Mahadev gambling app. The app quickly became popular among gamblers and was soon generating millions of rupees in revenue.
The ED alleges that Chandrakar used the Mahadev app to launder money from illegal activities such as gambling, betting, and extortion. He is also accused of using the app to fund terrorist activities.
In June 2023, the ED raided Chandrakar's properties and arrested him. He is currently in jail awaiting trial.
Chandrakar's case is a reminder of the dangers of gambling and the importance of regulating the online gambling industry. The ED's investigation is still ongoing, and it is likely that more information about Chandrakar's illegal activities will come to light in the coming months.
