Delhi Court Grants Two-Day Transit Remand of Mahadev Betting App Promoter Sourabh Chandrakar After His Return From Oman
New Delhi | November 2, 2026
A Delhi court has granted the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) a two-day transit remand of Sourabh Chandrakar, one of the key promoters of the alleged Mahadev online betting app, following his return to India from Oman. Chandrakar was brought back to India after the Omani authorities surrendered him to Indian officials, following extradition proceedings initiated at the request of the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
According to the details presented before the court, Chandrakar was arrested on November 1 at around 7:35 pm and produced before the Delhi court at approximately 11:45 am on Monday. The CBI sought transit remand to take him to the appropriate jurisdiction for further legal proceedings and investigation into the case.
During the hearing, the CBI informed the court that Chandrakar had been detained in Oman over allegations of entering the country illegally using forged travel documents. Following his detention, the Omani government handed him over to Indian authorities.
The investigating agency also highlighted that an open-ended non-bailable warrant issued against Chandrakar by a special CBI court in Raipur was still pending. He has already been charge-sheeted in connection with the case, making his return to India significant for the ongoing investigation.
The Mahadev online betting app case has attracted considerable attention from investigating agencies over alleged illegal betting operations and financial irregularities. Both the ED and the CBI have been pursuing investigations into different aspects of the case.
With the Delhi court granting two days of transit remand, the CBI will now be able to take Chandrakar forward for further legal proceedings. His return from Oman marks an important development in the investigation, as authorities continue efforts to establish the alleged financial network and bring those involved in the case before the law.
