ED Sends Fresh Extradition Request to UAE for Mahadev App Promoters After INTERPOL Upholds Red Notice
India's Enforcement Directorate (ED) has submitted a fresh extradition request to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) authorities seeking the provisional arrest of Mahadev online betting app promoters Saurabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal. This follows the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files (CCF) rejecting Chandrakar's challenge to the Red Notice against him, upholding its validity and dismissing claims of political motivation and human rights concerns. The decision is seen as a key step in India's efforts to bring the accused back for prosecution.
