A video from Sourabh Chandrakar's wedding reportedly shows several Bollywood figures in attendance. Reports further stated that the success party of the app, held last year in September and organized by Chandrakar and co-promoter Ravi Uppal, is also underway. This event was attended by various Bollywood actors and singers who are now under the ED's scrutiny.

Sources suggest that these Bollywood personalities received cash payments through hawala channels from event management firms for their participation in both events.

The promoters of the company are originally from Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, and the Mahadev Online Book Betting application is part of an umbrella syndicate that facilitates online platforms for illegal betting websites. The investigation into this high-profile case continues.
