India has formally requested Oman to deport Sourabh Chandrakar, the alleged mastermind behind the Mahadev betting app, who was detained in Oman while traveling on a forged passport.
Chandrakar, a key figure in the illegal betting platform, was taken into custody by Omani authorities after they discovered he was using fraudulent travel documents.
The Indian government is now working through diplomatic channels to secure his return to face charges related to the operation of the Mahadev betting app, which is accused of facilitating large-scale illegal gambling.
Details of the extradition process and the timeline for Chandrakar's potential deportation have not been disclosed by officials.
