Raipur, Nov 12 (PTI) A special CBI court in Raipur on Thursday remanded Saurabh Chandrakar, the alleged kingpin of the Rs 6,000-crore Mahadev online betting app scam, to judicial custody till November 19, his lawyer said.

Chandrakar, extradited from Oman earlier this month, was produced before Special Judge (CBI) Manoj Kumar Singh Thakur upon the expiry of his eight-day custodial remand in the central agency, his counsel Tushar Giri told reporters in the Chhattisgarh capital.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), probing the scam, did not seek further custodial remand of the accused, following which the court sent Chandrakar to judicial custody till November 19, he said.

Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which has been probing the money laundering angle in the case, moved an application before the CBI court seeking execution of a non-bailable warrant earlier issued against Chandrakar.

However, the court dismissed the application, Giri said.

ED counsel Sourabh Kumar Pande said the agency would now move an application before the PMLA court seeking arrest of Chandrakar in the money laundering case.
