Bollywood Actor Ranbir Kapoor Summoned by ED in Money Laundering Case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor for questioning in connection with a money laundering case linked to the Mahadev betting app. The ED alleges that Kapoor received money from the promoters of the app for performing at a wedding.

The Mahadev betting app is an online book betting application that was allegedly being used to launder money through a layered web of benami bank accounts. The app was promoted by Sourabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal, who were operating from Dubai.

The ED is investigating whether Kapoor was aware of the illegal activities of the Mahadev betting app and whether he received any proceeds from the app. The agency is also investigating whether Kapoor has any other financial links to the app or its promoters.

The summons to Kapoor comes as a major blow to the Bollywood industry, which has been facing increasing scrutiny from central agencies in recent months. The industry has been accused of being involved in a number of financial irregularities, including money laundering and tax evasion.

The ED’s investigation into the Mahadev betting app case is still ongoing and it is unclear what role Kapoor played in it. However, the summons to Kapoor suggests that the agency has gathered significant evidence to support its allegations against him.
