Mahadev App Founder Detained in Oman
Saurabh Chandrakar, founder of Mahadev betting app, held in Oman. India seeks extradition.

Saurabh Chandrakar, the founder of the Mahadev betting app, has been detained in Oman. The Indian authorities are now seeking his extradition or deportation from the country.
Chandrakar was previously detained in Dubai but was later released by the authorities. The Mahadev app operated as a large international betting syndicate, facilitating illegal online bets.
The app's activities have led to the attachment of assets worth Rs 1,700 crore linked to Chandrakar. The Indian government's move to seek Chandrakar's extradition or deportation is a significant step in cracking down on illegal betting operations.
Chandrakar's detention in Oman is a result of the ongoing efforts by the Indian authorities to curb illegal betting and gambling activities. The case highlights the international reach of such operations and the need for cooperation between countries to combat them.
The Mahadev app's operations were extensive, and its impact was felt globally. The attachment of assets worth Rs 1,700 crore is a significant blow to the illegal betting syndicate. The Indian authorities will continue to pursue Chandrakar's extradition or deportation to bring him to justice.
