Special CBI Court Sends Mahadev Betting App Kingpin Saurabh Chandrakar To Judicial Custody

A special CBI court in Raipur has remanded <b>Saurabh Chandrakar</b>, the alleged kingpin of the Rs 6,000-crore Mahadev online betting app scam, to judicial custody until November 19. Chandrakar, who was recently extradited from Oman, appeared before Special Judge Manoj Kumar Singh Thakur following the conclusion of his eight-day custodial remand with the central agency. While the CBI did not request further custody, the Enforcement Directorate attempted to execute a non-bailable warrant against the accused, which the court dismissed. Chandrakar will now be lodged in Raipur Central Jail as the investigation into the massive <b>money laundering</b> and betting operation continues under the central agencies.
