The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has widened its probe into the alleged online betting and money laundering case, summoning former Indian cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Robin Uthappa.
Earlier in the day, it was reported that Uthappa has been called for questioning on September 22, while Yuvraj Singh has also been asked to appear before the agency. This comes after Suresh Raina and Shikhar Dhawan were questioned by the ED in recent weeks.
The case is linked to illegal betting applications that allegedly duped investors and the public of crores of rupees while also evading significant taxes. The ED is examining whether financial transactions routed through these platforms involved laundering illicit proceeds and if tax obligations on winnings and operations were met.
The probe reportedly involves platforms such as lxBet, a globally recognized bookmaker with over 18 years of operations, allowing bets on thousands of sporting events across multiple languages.
