The Times of India reported that the individual identified as the promoter of the Mahadev betting app has been returned to Indian custody after an extradition process completed in Oman. The handover marks a significant step in the ongoing investigation into the multi-state gambling network alleged to have operated through the app, which authorities say facilitated large-scale illegal betting. The suspect, whose name has not been disclosed in the report, is now set to appear before a CBI court in Raipur later today. Legal proceedings are expected to address the allegations of running an unlawful betting platform, money laundering, and other related offenses. The CBI has indicated that the case will involve extensive evidence gathered from digital platforms and financial transactions linked to the app. Authorities have praised the extradition as a successful collaboration between international law-enforcement agencies, emphasizing the importance of curbing illegal online gambling that often transcends national borders. The court hearing is anticipated to be a key moment in the broader effort to dismantle the Mahadev betting operation and hold its key figures accountable.
