Agency is registering his statement under virtue of Prevention of money laundering law (PMLA) To determine if their alleged evaluations for the platform played a role in attracting users to the illegal gambling network.
Why ED questions Suresh Rain
The ED to Raina summons is derived from the suspicions that may have been associated with 1xbet through promotional activities, despite the fact that the platform is banned in India. Authorities believe that the evaluations of public figures not only increase visibility for these applications, but also provide credibility to the eyes of potential users. According to researchers, 1XBET has been operating in violation of multiple government laws and directives, making it a key objective in repression of the agency in online bets.
