Prior to now, the ED carried out several raids in a number of places, including Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bhopal, in relation to the Mahadev betting app and its suspected money-laundering networks. In the course of its investigation, the central agency has confiscated profits of crime totalling Rs 417 crore. 

In order to engage in activities like online casinos and betting platforms, which are prohibited in India, Sourabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal created the app and website. Despite the fact that the app is prohibited in India, the duo nevertheless operates in a number of other nations.
