ED arrests a big man related to illegal betting app money laundering Decisive action has been taken against famous personalities in the case (Yuvraj-Uthappa Seizure). Under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the investigating agency has seized the properties of several celebrities including former cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Robin Uthappa, actor Sonu Sood, former Trinamool Congress MP Mimi Chakraborty and actress Neha Sharma. The case involves money allegedly earned from the Curacao-registered OneXbet betting app as “proceeds of crime”.

The assets seized under the ED action include Sonu Sood’s properties worth around Rs 1 crore, Mimi Chakraborty’s Rs 59 lakh, Yuvraj Singh’s Rs 2.5 crore, Neha Sharma’s Rs 1.26 crore, Robin Uthappa’s Rs 8.26 lakh, Ankush Hazra’s Rs 47 lakh and Urvashi Rautela’s mother’s properties worth Rs 2.02 crore. The agency has already interrogated these celebrities and action has been taken against them based on the evidence.

It is being told that this entire network is part of a money laundering case of more than Rs 1,000 crore related to illegal online betting. The investigating agency claims that through this app, a large number of people in India were involved in illegal betting activities and an attempt was made to launder the money received from it through various means.

Major actions have already been taken in the Betting App Case. Some time ago, ED had also attached properties worth Rs 11.14 crore of former cricketers Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina. Now with the addition of Yuvraj and Uthappa’s names to this list, the matter has become bigger.

According to the investigation agency’s report, payments were made to these celebrities through promotional activities, brand endorsements and events, who were allegedly found to be linked to the illegal betting network. ED has placed them in the category of income earned from crime.

After this phase of asset seizure (Yuvraj-Uthappa Seizure), the agency is busy further investigating the financial layers of the case. According to sources, some more names may emerge in the coming days.

This action is in the news due to the involvement of high-profile faces from the world of sports, films and politics. The agency says that strict action against illegal betting networks will continue and every financial flow related to the crime will be traced.
