Popular celebs like Hina Khan, Kapil Sharma, Huma Qureshi and Shraddha Kapoor were summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in the month of October in connection with the Mahadev betting app case. Now, as per latest reports, the Mumbai Police has booked the Style actor Sahil Khan in the same case. He is accused of endorsing and promoting the Mahadev app and running it for profits.
Among those named in the case includes actor Sahil Khan at No. 26, for allegedly promoting and propagating the Mahadev app, besides operating it to earn huge profits from it. The development follows a complaint lodged by a social worker from Mumbai, Prakash Bankar, who has alleged that people have been cheated of over Rs 15,000-crore through the betting app. The Matunga Police have filed the complaint invoking various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Gambling Act, the IT Act and further probe is underway. Police said that Sahil Khan, a fitness master and YouTuber, who has acted in films like “Style”, “Xcuse Me”, “Alladin” and others had reportedly organised celeb parties purportedly to promote the app and lure more people to use it.
