Enforcement Directorate Investigates Illegal Betting and Money Laundering Cases Across IndiaPreviousNext

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating two separate illegal betting and money laundering cases in India. In Assam and Delhi, ED conducted overnight searches linked to an IPL cricket betting racket involving encrypted messaging and offshore platforms. Separately, in Maharashtra and other states, ED searched multiple locations related to the Cyprus-based online betting platform Parimatch, which allegedly defrauded users of over Rs 3,000 crore. Assets worth over Rs 112 crore have been frozen, and investigations reveal complex money laundering methods in both cases.
