The probe agency has also questioned former Indian cricketers Robin Uthappa and Yuvraj Singh. In recent weeks, others questioned in the case include former cricketers Suresh Raina and Shikhar Dhawan, TMC MP and actor Mimi Chakraborty, actress Urvashi Rautela, and Bengali actor Ankush Hazra.

According to the company, 1xBet is a globally recognised bookmaker with 18 years in the betting industry. The brand's customers can place bets on thousands of sporting events, with the company's website and app available in 70 languages, according to the company.

These apps are alleged to have defrauded severak individuals and investors of crores of rupees, while also reportedly evading substantial direct and indirect taxes.

Other celebrities, including sportspersons, actors, and social media influencers, are expected to be questioned by the ED soon.
