New Delhi, September 4 (Kiran News): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned former cricketer Shikhar Dhawan in connection with its ongoing probe into a money laundering case linked to an illegal betting app.
According to sources, Dhawan was asked to appear before the agency’s Delhi headquarters on Thursday for questioning. He arrived at the office around 11 am, and his statement is expected to be recorded shortly.
This development comes just days after the ED questioned another former cricketer, Suresh Raina, in the same case. The investigation is linked to an online betting platform named 1xBet, which has been under scrutiny for alleged fraud involving investors and large-scale tax evasion.
Officials said the agency is probing several cases connected to illegal betting apps, which are suspected of duping people of crores of rupees and evading substantial taxes.
The matter has gained further significance after the central government recently banned real money-based online gaming in India.
