New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued notices to senior Team India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan regarding his alleged promotion of illegal betting applications. The notice seeks to question Dhawan about his involvement in endorsing online betting platforms that have recently been banned by the central government.
This move by the ED follows similar questioning of former cricketer Suresh Raina , who was earlier investigated for promoting betting apps. The government has intensified its crackdown on online gambling and betting platforms, citing the need to curb illegal financial activities and protect public interest.
The ED’s inquiry into Dhawan’s activities is expected to focus on the nature of the promotions, potential monetary benefits, and compliance with Indian laws. Further details regarding the investigation and possible legal implications for the cricketer are awaited. Fans and sports enthusiasts are closely monitoring the situation.
