Mahadev Satta App: Actress Tamannaah Bhatia on Thursday October 17 appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Guwahati to face questioning in connection with the IPL-related illegal betting case. She was summoned for allegedly encouraging people to watch IPL matches on a subsidiary app of Mahadev Online Gaming. Tamannaah arrived at the ED office with her mother at around 1:30 pm, where her questioning continued till late afternoon.
The investigation centres on a betting exchange platform called FairPlay, which Tamannaah promoted. The platform offers various types of gambling and is part of the Mahadev app, which is infamous for illegal betting. The Mahadev app has previously embroiled several Bollywood celebs in controversy, including Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor.
According to officials, the Mahadev app provides a platform for illegal betting on sports such as cricket, football, and poker. Several other celebrities have also been called in for questioning.
Meanwhile, last year, Sahil Khan was also arrested in similar cases, while Shraddha and Ranbir Kapoor are also under the scanner. The ED action is aimed at controlling illegal online betting in India, and as the investigation progresses, new revelations are likely.
Tamanna’s appearance has once again exposed the dark aspects of betting, and this has created a stir in the entertainment industry. All eyes are now on the next action of the ED.
