Chhattisgarh court remanded Ebix chairman Vikas Garg to ED custody for 10 days in a Rs 4,000-crore money laundering case tied to the Mahadev betting app.
Vikas Garg, the chairman of Ebix Group, was remanded to Enforcement Directorate custody for ten days by a Chhattisgarh court on Monday. The order comes in a multi-crore money laundering investigation tied to the Mahadev betting app.
The ED alleged that Garg dissipated and encumbered company shares and property during the probe. The agency had previously attached assets worth over Rs 940 crore belonging to Garg.
The case centers on allegations that funds routed through the Mahadev app were laundered using Ebix's payment infrastructure.
A court in Bilaspur issued the remand after the ED argued Garg was not cooperating with the investigation and that further custodial interrogation was needed to trace the money trail.
A lawyer for Garg said the company would challenge the remand order.
"The allegations are baseless and the ED's claims about asset dissipation are false," he said, declining to be named.
Ebix had not commented on the remand as of Tuesday morning.
