What is his involvement in the Rs 15,000 crore Mahadev betting app case?
It all started when social activist Prakash Bankar reportedly filed an FIR with the Matunga police in November 2023. He alleged that several online portals were involved in betting on sports and card games like Teen Patti. Sahil Khan was among those accused in the FIR, which was then transferred to the Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) for investigation. Bankar claimed to have found these betting apps on social media and estimated the scam’s size to be around Rs 15,000 crore. According to reports, Khan’s name featured in the list of suspects involved in the betting app. He was asked to appear before the city crime branch office to record his statement. He had been reportedly dodging the cops and was ultimately nabbed from a hotel in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh.
