Ravi Uppal arrested in Dubai in Mahadev betting app case

Ravi Uppal, a co-promoter of the Mahadev online betting app, has been arrested in Dubai. The arrest follows an Interpol Red Notice issued at the request of Indian probe agencies.

Indian agencies, including the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), are now working to secure Uppal's extradition to India in connection with a money laundering investigation. This development follows the recent extradition of another promoter, Saurabh Chandrakar, from Oman on November 1.

Uppal, who hails from Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, had previously been detained by UAE authorities in 2023 but was released after 45 days. Indian officials are currently using diplomatic channels to formalize the process and speed up extradition efforts.
