The Enforcement Directorate has arrested two more persons in connection with its money laundering investigation into the Mahadev online betting and gaming app case, officials said on Saturday. Nitin Tibrewal, a resident of Kolkata, and Raipur-based Amit Agrawal were taken into custody under various sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and produced before a special court in Raipur on Friday, ED lawyer Saurabh Pandey said.
The court sent them to ED custody till January 17, he said. Tibrewal is alleged to be a “close associate” of an accused in the case, Vikash Chapparia. He is alleged to have purchased some “undisclosed” properties in Dubai and a majority shareholder in an FPI company in which Chapparia is also a shareholder, ED sources said. The agency suspects these assets were bought using the “proceeds of crime” generated from the profits of Mahadev app.
