Mahadev App Scam: Who Is Mrigank Mishra? Mastermind Conman Deposited 2000 Cr In 90 People's Bank Account 

The Rajasthan police arrested mastermind Mrigank Mishra behind the infamous Mahadev App at Mumbai airport in a major crackdown on internet fraud in online gambling. This application has been making headlines for its illegal business in betting, which actually deals in cricket only. The Ratlam native from Madhya Pradesh has been said to be operating from Dubai and is accused of executing a "colossal scam of ₹2000 crore".

Mishra opened bank accounts for 90 poor people in Pratapgarh and promised them that he would get them benefits under the government schemes. However, he siphoned off huge money into these accounts through financial frauds. The spurt of funds created suspicion in the minds of the bank staff who alerted the matter; in consequence, investigations led to his arrest.

According to SP Amit Kumar Budania from Pratapgarh, this is a case of exploitation of weak sections of the people for pecuniary gain. While the police has established the involvement of several high-profile names coupled with a few celebrities in this total gambling fraud pertaining to Mahadev App.

Mrigank Mishra, who allegedly masterminded all these grand financial manipulations, is remaining in the custody of the police till October 21. The police have confiscated around ₹4 crore that is currently lying in those accounts for such a scam. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has been informed and has issued a lookout notice for tracing some other accomplices in this complex web of online betting.
