In a shocking turn of events, actor Sahil Khan has been detained by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Mumbai Crime Branch in connection with the Mahadev betting app case. Khan, who had been on the run for nearly 40 hours, was apprehended in Chhattisgarh after his attempts to secure a pre-arrest bail were rejected by the Bombay High Court.
The actor is accused of running a betting site and promoting illegal betting activities, with his name surfacing during the investigation of the Mahadev betting app case by the Matunga Police in Mumbai. Khan had been evading authorities by constantly changing his location, but law enforcement agencies intensified their efforts to locate and apprehend him.
The alleged size of the scam is estimated to be around Rs 15,000 crore, as per the first information report (FIR) filed in the case. Notably, one of the chief accused, Ravi Uppal, was detained in Dubai last year based on a red corner notice issued by Interpol at the behest of the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Sahil Khan, known for his roles in films like ‘Style’ and ‘Excuse Me’, has transitioned into the fitness industry in recent years. This development has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, as fans and colleagues await further updates on the case. Stay tuned for more details as this story unfolds.
