Saurabh Chandrakar, the alleged kingpin of the Mahadev betting app scam, has been remanded to judicial custody until November 19 by a special CBI court in Raipur. Chandrakar, who was extradited from Oman, was produced before the court after the completion of his eight-day CBI remand. The CBI did not seek further custodial remand, leading to his transfer to judicial custody. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) sought the execution of a non-bailable warrant against Chandrakar, but the court dismissed the application. The ED plans to approach the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court for his arrest in the money laundering case. The CBI investigation revealed that the Mahadev Online Book was among the largest illegal online betting syndicates, allegedly operated from outside India through a network of franchised panels and branches.
