Shraddha Kapoor Summoned In App Case

Ranbir Kapoor Seeks Time from ED…

On Friday, 06 October 2023, actors Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor were asked to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a case involving a gaming app.

They are among the stars who will be questioned over the Mahadev app that allegedly provides a platform for illegal betting.

Ranbir Kapoor has asked for two weeks' time to appear before the central agency that probes financial fraud. It is not known if Shraddha Kapoor will appear before them today or not.

Comedian-actor Kapil Sharma and actors Huma Qureshi and Hina Khan will also have been summoned in the Mahadev app case on different dates, sources revealed the names on Thursday.

They too have sought two weeks' time to appear before the agency, they added.

The celebrities are not named as accused in the case but will be questioned over what they know about the mode and flow of payment allegedly done to them by the app's promoters.

Ranbir Kapoor has done several ads promoting the Mahdev app and got a huge amount of money that was from the proceeds of a crime, the agency has claimed.

The Mahadev app is an umbrella syndicate that provides online platforms to illegal betting websites to register new users, create user IDs, and launder money through a layered web of benami bank accounts, the ED has alleged.

The latest online gaming rules prohibit betting.
