Former India’s opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has reached ED’s office. His name has come up in the money laundering case related to the online betting app. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has called him for questioning and asked to join the investigation of the case. Dhawan will be the fourth Indian cricketer facing the ED’s investigation in this case. Earlier, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh have also been questioned by ED.
What is the case?
This whole case is related to the online betting app named 1xbet. In India, playing betting is considered illegal, but this app has tried to woo people to bat through social media and advertisements. It is alleged that many Indian cricketers have also promoted this app. Now the ED is investigating whether these players took part in any illegal activity during the promotion.
Why is Dhawan being questioned?
The ED believes that Shikhar Dhawan promoted this app through social media. The investigating agency wants to find out what was the role of Dhawan in this promotion, what payment was received in return and whether the link of this money is with money laundering.
The questions asked by Dhawan will be mainly based on these points
-He propagated this app on whom?
-How much money was given to them?
Did they know that this app is illegal in India?
Many cricketers caught earlier
Before Shikhar Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh have been questioned in this case. These players also promoted this app at different times. However, no major action has been taken against any player so far.
What next?
Now everyone’s eyes will be on what statements do Shikhar Dhawan make in front of ED and whether any concrete steps are taken against them after investigation. At the moment, the ED is trying to clear that the participation of the players was limited to advertising only or they were also part of this entire network.
