Event Summary

This is the largest single attachment against an individual in the case, bringing total attached/seized/frozen assets to approximately ₹3,800 crore. The ED alleges the illegal betting syndicate generated over ₹450 crore monthly through franchise-based panels abroad, with proceeds laundered via shell entities and invested in shares, land, and securities. The probe originated from FIRs in India — Chhattisgarh, India — Andhra Pradesh, and India — West Bengal. The ED has moved the Adjudicating Authority under PMLA for confirmation.
