Mumbai is still reeling from the shocking details of the Mahadev Online betting app case. A recent report in a leading English daily has made a startling claim about the promoter of Mahadev Online betting app, Saurabh Chandrakar. It is alleged that when jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi called him for extortion, Chandrakar flaunted his links with India's most wanted fugitive, underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
The report further stated that the police believe Chandrakar is under the protection of the D-gang. Further, it is alleged that Chandrakar held a lavish party attended by Bollywood celebrities. This is when Lawrence Bishnoi, who runs his gangster activities and network from the jail, called up Chandrakar and demanded extortion money. Chandrakar apparently gave Lawrence an earful and even boasted about his underworld ties.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested four people in the Mahadev online betting case and seized assets worth 417 crores. The ED claims that Mahadev Online Booking offers illegal betting platforms through games like poker, card games, chance games, tennis, cricket, badminton, football and more.
Lawrence Bishnoi is a criminal from Fazilka in Punjab. He was arrested in 2014 after an encounter with the Rajasthan police. He was shifted to Tihar jail in Delhi in 2022 and Punjab Police arrested him in June 2022 in connection with the murder case of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.
Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that Saurabh Chandrakar spent a whopping 200 crores for his wedding in the UAE, which was attended by famous Bollywood celebrities. It is clear that Chandrakar's links with the underworld go much deeper than anyone anticipated.
