Mumbai Crime Branch Detains Actor Sahil Khan in Mahadev Betting App Case
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 was apprehended in Chhattisgarh after evading authorities for nearly 40 hours. Despite his attempts to secure a pre-arrest bail, the Bombay High Court rejected his plea, leading to his arrest.
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. 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, working as a fitness expert and founder of Divine Nutrition, a company specializing in fitness supplements.
The saga began in December 2023 when the SIT of the Mumbai cyber cell issued a summons to Sahil Khan and three others, directing them to appear for questioning. Khan’s failure to comply with the summons prompted intensified efforts by law enforcement agencies to locate and apprehend him. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
