Mumbai: On Tuesday, a Bollywood actor spoke to the Free Press Journal and revealed a shocking turn of events. The actor had been hired by a celebrity management firm to attend the wedding of a business man named 'Hritik'. Upon arriving at the venue, the actor was dismayed to find out that Hritik was in fact Saurabh Chandrakar, the main accused in the Mahadev App case.
The actor had been given an upfront cash payment by the company, however, before leaving for Dubai, a 20% deduction was made from the remaining payment and transferred to the actor's bank account in Mumbai.
The Enforcement Directorate also recently obtained videos from a celebration held in Thailand in April 2023. This celebration was to showcase the success of Fairplay App, a subsidiary of Mahadev App. Rapper Badshah was the main performer at the event, and many other celebrities and social media influencers were present. Videos from the event show that there were poker, roulette, and teen patti tables set up, and the organisers had instructed everyone to not post any footage on social media.
The ED also found promotional and endorsement videos featuring Badshah, along with a rap song about Fairplay. In one of the videos, Badshah claims that Fairplay is a simple market to understand and can generate substantial earnings.
Another actress who attended the party told the FPJ anonymously that a company in Andheri had contacted several TV celebrities in April. It appears that the organisers had made arrangements for payments to the celebrities, which could have amounted to several crores. Additionally, the ED had videos of actors Heena Khan and Mauni Roy promoting Mahadev App.
The ED's investigations have revealed a complex web of offshore gambling operations. With the discovery of these videos, the case now has a clearer focus. It is yet to be seen how this case unfolds.
