ED Questions Harbhajan Singh, Urvashi Rautela Over Ads Promoting Illegal Betting...

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has questioned former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh and Bollywood actor Urvashi Rautela in connection with their promotion of illegal online betting applications. The celebrities were summoned as part of a larger investigation into a money laundering network associated with these apps. The ED is probing the financial transactions between the betting apps and the celebrities who endorsed them. The investigation aims to determine the nature of their agreements and the source of the funds they received for the promotions. This move by the ED highlights the increasing scrutiny on public figures who lend their name and credibility to products and services. It serves as a stern warning about the legal and financial risks involved in endorsing platforms that are engaged in illegal activities like online betting, which often have links to money laundering.
