New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan for questioning on Thursday in connection with a money laundering case related to an alleged illegal betting app.
The federal probe agency will record Dhawan’s statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as part of its probe into the betting platform 1xBet, PTI reported citing sources.Â
The 39-year-old former Indian cricketer is understood to have been linked to the app through certain endorsements. The ED wants to understand his links with this app during the questioning.
The agency is probing multiple such cases involving illegal betting apps that are alleged to have duped numerous people and investors worth crores of rupees or have evaded a huge amount of taxes.
Last month, former cricketer Suresh Raina was questioned in this case by the ED. The Union government has banned real-money online gaming by bringing a legislation recently.
