The Maharashtra cyber cell has called the actor in for questioning on his purported promotion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) betting app, Fairplay.
Digital Desk: Actor Tamannaah Bhatia has been summoned in relation to the marketing of a subsidiary app for the Mahadev online betting and gaming platform, reports said on Thursday.
The Maharashtra cyber cell has called the actor in for questioning on his purported promotion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) betting app, Fairplay.
Starring in movies such as "Baahubali" and "Lust Stories 2," Ms. Bhatia has been called in as a witness and instructed to come before the cyber cell the following week.
A broadcaster filed a complaint alleging that some IPL matches were illegally streamed on the app.
The statements of actor Sanjay Dutt and actress Jacqueline Fernandez's managers, as well as singer Badshah, have already been recorded by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell.
FairPlay Betting App
FairPlay is a betting exchange website that provides a huge selection of sports and entertainment wagering options.
The website for the app states that tennis, football, and cricket are the three most popular sports on FairPlay.
According to the website, FairPlay offers live streaming of all sporting events so that users may "watch and win at the same time".
FairPlay's Mahadev Betting App Connection
The online gambling app Mahadev, which also offers facilities for unlawful betting in other live games like football card games, cricket, poker, badminton, tennis, and poker, has a subsidiary called FairPlay.
Actors Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, who had starred in advertisements for the Mahadev betting app, made headlines last year when the Enforcement Directorate (ED) called them in for interrogation.
Investigative authorities began to focus on the app following a ₹ 200 crore all-cash wedding in the United Arab Emirates in February of last year.
The Mahadev Online betting software was run by Dubai-based Saurabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal. They are both from the Bhilai region of Chhattisgarh.
The company used to frequently launch new websites and private groups on chat applications in an effort to attract new clients. To get money, they would frequently post sponsored adverts on social networking applications and attempt to entice users to text their numbers.
The Enforcement Department (ED) has been probing the money laundering case connected to the Mahadev app for over a year. In the past, the ED claimed that their investigation revealed the involvement of several senior politicians and bureaucrats from Chhattisgarh.
According to the ED, the estimated proceeds of crime in this case are around Rs 6,000 crore.
