The government has started tightening the noose on online betting apps. The government has banned Mahadev betting app on the request of ED. Along with this, MEITY has also issued blocking orders on 22 such illegal betting apps and websites including Mahadev Book and ReddyAnnaPristoPro. This action has been taken after the investigation conducted by ED against the illegal betting app syndicate and the subsequent raid on Mahadev Book in Chhattisgarh.
Millions of people joined in just a few months
Let us tell you, within a few months, more than 12 lakh people from all over the country had joined this app named Mahadev Book and through this, people started using this app for betting on everything from cricket to elections. Not only this,. After the Corona epidemic, the business of this app progressed very fast.
MEITY has blocked 22 apps and websites including Mahadev App on the request of ED. Minister of State Rajiv Chandrashekhar said that the Chhattisgarh government had full power to recommend closure of the website under Section 69A of the IT Act. We have received the first and only request from ED, after which it has been blocked.
Chhattisgarh government did not ban the website
The Union Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, and Electronics and Information Technology said, “Chhattisgarh government had full power to recommend closure of the website/app under Section 69A of the IT Act. However, he did not do so and did not make any such request.
The government has been investigating this for the last one and a half years. In fact, this is the first and only request from the ED that has been received and processed.
