Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, on the eve of vote counting, writes to PM Modi seeking a ban on apps linked to illegal online betting. Baghel highlights the nationwide nature of this offshore-run business and requests action to curb illicit financial transactions. This move follows allegations, including an ED claim of Baghel receiving Rs 508 crore from UAE-based app promoters. BJP releases a video supporting the allegations. Baghel defends his position, referencing police actions against online betting in Chhattisgarh. The letter adds a layer to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Mahadev app and its alleged financial transactions.
