The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken a major action against former Indian cricketers Suresh Raina and Shikhar Dhawan in connection with a money laundering case linked to online betting platform 1xBet. The agency has provisionally attached assets worth ₹11.14 crore belonging to the two players under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.
According to the ED, the attachment includes mutual fund investments worth ₹6.64 crore in Raina’s name and immovable property valued at ₹4.5 crore in Dhawan’s name. The action comes amid increased scrutiny of financial activities of sports personalities in India.
The ED clarified that the properties have been temporarily seized under PMLA provisions, while investigations into the alleged money laundering through the 1xBet platform continue. This high-profile move highlights the government’s resolve to crack down on illicit financial dealings in sports.
