Indian authorities seized ₹7.93 crore in assets from seven celebrities over alleged 1xBet betting platform money laundering.

The Enforcement Directorate has attached assets worth ₹7.93 crore from seven celebrities, including cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Robin Uthappa and actors Sonu Sood, Neha Sharma, Mimi Chakraborty, Ankush Hazra, and Urvashi Rautela, in a money laundering probe linked to the offshore betting platform 1xBet. The action, taken under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, follows allegations that the celebrities knowingly endorsed the unlicensed platform through foreign entities, with payments routed via intermediaries to conceal illicit funds. This brings the total assets seized in the case to over ₹19 crore, including prior attachments from Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina. The ED continues investigating the platform’s operations, which are accused of generating over ₹1,000 crore in illegal proceeds through unregulated online betting in India.
