Mumbai:The Mumbai Police on Saturday recorded the statement of Bollywood actor Sahil Khan in the Mahadev betting app case. The SIT of Mumbai Police's Crime Branch interrogated Sahil Khan for three hours today in connection with the Rs 15,000 crore Mahadev betting app case.
"As per the directive of the Bombay High Court, I was directed to attend the SIT inquiry and so I attended and cooperated in the investigation." Actor Sahil Khan told ETV Bharat that he will continue to appear and cooperate with the investigation.
Earlier, the SIT had summoned Sahil Khan for questioning in December. However, he was in Dubai at that time and did not appear and knocked on the doors of the court to evade arrest.

He was then transferred to the Cyber Cell of the Crime Branch for investigation and after that, SIT was constituted and the investigation is proceeding. One person has been arrested so far in connection with the case, the Mumbai Police has registered a case against 35 people, including Saurabh Chandrakar, Ravi Uppal and Subham Soni, the promoter of the Mahadev betting app, on the charge of Rs 15,000 crore fraud.
