The Enforcement Directorate (ED) attached assets worth ₹11.14 crore linked to former Indian cricketers Suresh Raina and Shikhar Dhawan under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in a probe tied to alleged promotion of the illegal betting platform 1xBet and related surrogates.

According to media reports, the attachment includes mutual fund investments of ₹6.64 crore held in Raina’s name and an immovable property valued at about ₹4.5 crore belonging to Dhawan. ED has also summoned several celebrities in connection with endorsements of 1xBet entities and recorded their statements; some reports list Bollywood and political figures among those questioned.  

Media, citing ED sources, state that the agency alleges “knowing” entry into agreements with foreign entities running the platform; further action against other recipients of payments is possible. The order follows months of summons and statement recordings in Mumbai and Delhi.
