The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Mumbai's cyber cell has detained Bollywood actor and fitness trainer Sahil Khan from Chhattisgarh in connection with the Mahadev betting app scam case.
Khan was apprehended from Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, on Saturday, following the Bombay High Court's rejection of his pre-arrest bail plea.
The court's decision came after it observed that Sahil Khan was "directly connected with an online betting application." Earlier in the week, the actor had undergone questioning by the SIT for over four hours regarding the case.
Who is Sahil Khan?
Sahil Khan, known for his roles in Bollywood films such as "Style" and "Excuse Me," initially gained prominence through a musical video of Stereo Nation's "Nachange Sari Raat."
Transitioning into fitness training, Khan became renowned for promoting fitness awareness and garnered accolades from various Mumbai-based organizations.
Link to the Case:
An FIR was filed against Sahil Khan for allegedly promoting online betting applications, citing his direct involvement with an online betting platform.
The case stemmed from a complaint lodged by social activist Prakash Bankar in November 2023, accusing several web portals of facilitating online betting and gambling activities on sports like cricket, football, tennis, as well as card games like Teen Patti.
