Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrest and custody actions are taken against Saurabh Chandrakar, described as the alleged promoter or “kingpin” of the Mahadev betting app syndicate. Multiple outlets report he is produced before a special PMLA court in Raipur and that the ED seeks custodial interrogation in connection with a money laundering investigation.
According to the coverage, the ED says it wants to confront Chandrakar with material gathered during the probe, including statements from associates and digital evidence and documents tied to foreign entities, to trace alleged proceeds of crime. One report notes the ED secures seven days of custody after a CBI court rejects the agency’s earlier request, remanding him to seven days of judicial custody.
Across outlets, the core facts remain consistent: Chandrakar is brought before the PMLA court, ED moves for custody in a money laundering case, and arguments take place before the court. The differences mostly lie in emphasis, with some focusing on the sequence between CBI and ED actions and others highlighting the arrest and court proceedings.
