The Mumbai Police arrested actor and influencer Sahil Khan for his alleged involvement in the Mahadev betting app case.

The Mumbai Police arrested actor and influencer Sahil Khan for his alleged involvement in the Mahadev betting app case. He was apprehended by the Mumbai cyber cell’s Special Investigating Team (SIT) in Chhattisgarh after his plea for pre-arrest bail was rejected by the Bombay High Court.

Earlier, the SIT had called Sahil and three others for questioning in December 2023, but he did not show up. He claimed to be just a brand promoter under a contract with M/s. Isports247, promoting The Lion Book brand, and denied direct association with the betting platform. However, the police said he was a co-owner of the app.

Sahil explained that his contract was for 24 months, with a monthly payment of 3 lakhs for posting promotional videos on his social media. Despite this, the court dismissed his bail plea, citing his direct involvement in the illegal operation. Known for his roles in Style and Excuse Me, Sahil now focuses on fitness, having founded Divine Nutrition, which offers fitness supplements.

Back in 2023, it was reported that the crime branch, conducting an inquiry into the Mahadev betting app case, summoned Sahil Khan and three others to record their statements on December 15. However, Khan did not present himself before the police for investigation and continued to engage on social media during that period. He even posted a picture of himself sitting in a pool with the caption, “Good morning, Jumma Mubarak.” This has drawn attention and criticism as he seemingly ignored the police summons.
