Actress Urvashi Rautela summoned by ED in betting app case

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a summons to actress Urvashi Rautela in connection with the ongoing probe into online betting platform app.

ED has also summoned former Trinamool Congress MP Mimi Chakraborty in the case. 

Chakraborty has been asked to appear before ED officials at the agency’s Delhi headquarters on September 15, while Rautela has been summoned on September 16.

The case relates to alleged money laundering and violations of foreign exchange laws linked to the betting platform.

Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan also faced ED questioning in connection with alleged money laundering tied to an "unauthorised" gaming app endorsed by him in advertisements.

The former Team India opener was summoned by the probe agency to get clarity on his advertising contract with an app named 1xBet, the official said. Dhawan reportedly faced hours of grilling after he appeared before the ED officials in the national capital.

Apart from Dhawan, former cricketer Suresh Raina was also recently questioned by the ED in the 1xBet case.
