Mahadev Betting App Scam (Explained)
Biggest Scam of Chhattisgarh

The story starts from 2017
Bhilai (Chhattisgarh)

Saurabh Chandrakar (28) was a Juice shop owner
Ravi Uppal (43) ran a tyre repair shop

Both were gambling addicts, both met n became friends

1/20

Life is a gamble n to win gamble, U have to take chance.
Both wanted to do something big in their life so both accumulated their life saving and went to Dubai

In Dubai they met to a Sheikh and a Pakistani n with their help they made an online gaming portal-

Mahadev Books

Mahadev Books is a mobile application that can be downloaded on mobile

App provides platforms for illegal betting in virtual games like poker, teen patti, and real games like IPL, Cricket, Soccor, Hockey etc

Initially this app didnt make any profit but everyone gets their time

Saurabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal got their time in 2020

Covid was nightmare for most of People but Covid proved jackpot for them

When everyone was locked in homes and was in stress this Mahadev app proved good time pass for people
their app became hit

They made huge profit

They provided betting platform to common people and IPL 2021 proved biggest jackpot for them n they made profit of Rs 2000 cr

All the virtual games hosted by the app's platforms were rigged in a manner that the owners do not lose money

Even though users made initial profits, whose payments were done using benami bank accounts, ultimately they incurred losses once they got addicted

Next phase of Business model was - Expansion

They started to rolling out franchise

Franchise owner is called Panel Owner

They are basically people sitting in India

Their job is to do marketing of app, add more and more people to app. Profit is shared between them in 80:20 ratios

Saurabh and Ravi sitting in Dubai gets 80%
Panel agents sitting in India gets 20%

Most of panel agents were from Cgarh

For using the app, one will have to obtain a user ID and password, which are typically owned by people associated with the app.

These user IDs are sold for a hefty sum costing up to thousands of rupees.

Once acquired, users can engage in online betting activities through

the app.

All financial transactions are channeled through bank accounts or online transactions

All communication used to happen via Whatsapp

Everything was going fantastic, Both were making huge money but here they made a mistake

N that mistake was
Saurabh got married

Feb 2023, Dubai

When armature make money they start to show off
Saurabh got married this year and in his marriage he spent Rs 200 crore

Many Bollywood actors including Ranveer Kapoor were called

Rs 200 cr marriage, How it can be hidden from ED and here comes the entry of ED

ED started to investigate this marriage

ED got to know that lot of payment were made in cash
When ED was doing investigation in Mumbai they got to know Rs 200 Cr were sent to Chhattisgarh

Why money sent to Cg ?

And ED came into Chhattisgarh from everything was started

Such a big scam was going on in Chhattisgarh from 2020

Lot of innocent poor people were duped and lost their hard earned money

Rs 5000 cr that they made was from poor people who came on their app to make money but at the end, lost their money

How it is possible

Chhattisgarh Police and Politicians are not aware abt it ?

ED also thought same

ED started to follow money trail and reached to Police ASI Chandrabhushan Verma who was one of Panel owner and made Rs 65 cr

He told to ED that everything was happening under protection of state

Ravi and Saurabh used to sent huge money to Chhattisgarh CM in exchange of state protection

ED raided on Vinod Verma who is adviser of CG CM Bhupesh Baghel

then ED arrested a Police constable Bhim Singh who used to visit Dubai and used to carry black money

Police arrested a money courier man Asim Das with Rs 5 cr cash. He got this money from some soni who is employee of Mahaveer app

Police recovered a voice msg from his phone

The voice msg says
"भाई तू एक काम कर, तू ना अभी के अभी इंडिया निकल और क्या बोलते है,

मेरे को ना भयंकर कॉल मैसेज आ रहे है उधर से पैसे के लिए. तो तू एक काम कर तू वहां निकल. मैं तेरे को ना वहां पर रायपुर के ब्रांच से आठ दस करोड़ दिलवा रहा हूं. तो तू वहां पर छोड़वा देना, बघेल जी के पास. ठीक है. और क्या बोलते हैं. एक बार बात भी कर लेना की काम वाम न बंद हो

अपना कोई भी और बाकी तो मैं करवा दूंगा नेक्सट टाइम में. अभी इलेक्शन टाइम चल रहा है ना तो हो नहीं पा रहा है"

Asim Das told to ED that everything was happening under protection of CM Baghel and for this till now he has received Rs 509 crore bribe from Mahadev App owners

ED also said that these accusation on CM are under investigation and not proved yet

Who was involved and who is not
We will get to know with time but one thing is confirmed

A big scam happened
And poor people of Chhattisgarh were duped by Rs 5000 crore

Why Chhattisgarh Police cud not stop this scam ?

SP of Durg, Abhishek Pallav, arrested some people linked to the betting app. FIRs were also registered in the case but why this scam didnt stop ?

Lawrence Bishnoi asked extortion from Saurabh and Ravi but later he got to know

That Both have hand of Dawood on them

How big is this scam, How many politicians, bureaucrats, Bollywood celebrities' involved we will get to know with time

Whether CM of Chhattisgarh Bhupesh Baghel arrested or not, it will be interesting to see now
