# The CBI has brought Sourabh Chandrakar, promoter of the Mahadev online betting app, back to India from Oman. He is accused of running an illegal betting network worth ₹6,000 crore with co-founder Ravi Uppal. Chandrakar was detained by Omani police in June following an Interpol Red Notice. Indian agencies later secured his extradition. He will be produced before a special CBI court in Raipur. Investigators allege the network used several websites and fake bank accounts to move illegal money. The Enforcement Directorate has also seized assets linked to the accused and their associates.
