India's ED uncovers ₹331 crore money-laundering scheme via a Delhi driver's account, linked to 1xBet and a Gujarat politician's luxury wedding.

The Enforcement Directorate uncovered a ₹331.36 crore money-laundering scheme tied to the 1xBet betting platform, using a Delhi Rapido bike-taxi driver’s account as a mule. The driver, living in a modest slum home and earning a small daily income, had no knowledge of the transactions. Over ₹1 crore from the account funded a luxury wedding in Udaipur linked to a young Gujarat politician, who may be questioned. The ED suspects the account was opened with fake documents to move illicit funds, and is probing the broader network, including previous asset attachments involving cricketers Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina.
