Chhattisgarh policeman held in Mahadev betting app case dismissed from service
Durg (PTI): A constable of Chhattisgarh police, who was earlier suspended after his arrest in connection with the multi-crore Mahadev betting app fraud case, has been dismissed from service, an official said on Friday.
As per an order issued by Durg Superintendent of Police Jitendra Shukla, constable Bhim Singh Yadav of Supela police station was dismissed on Thursday amid a money laundering probe by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) concerning the app, he said.
Yadav and a cash courier, Asim Das, were arrested by the federal agency on November 3, 2023, just before the first phase of the Assembly polls in Chhattisgarh.
The ED had earlier said that the alleged illegal funds generated by the betting app were used to pay bribes to politicians and bureaucrats in the state.

Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday saluted the armed forces for conducting missile strikes on Pakistan under 'Operation Sindoor', to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 civilians were killed.
He said, terror has no place in our land, and India will respond with strength and unity.
In retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces on early Wednesday carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's base in Muridke.
"I salute the extraordinary courage of our armed forces behind Operation Sindhoor. Their heroic action reaffirms that India will never tolerate terror in any form," Siddaramaiah said in a post on 'X'.
Stating that the brutal attack in Pahalgam was not just on innocent lives, it was an assault on the dreams and spirit of India, he said, "Every effort of our brave soldiers is a pledge to bring justice to the victims, their families, and to every Indian who believes in peace and humanity."
"Karnataka joins the nation in expressing unwavering solidarity with our forces. We are proud of your valour, sacrifice, and unflinching commitment to protect our sovereignty," he added.
India's response came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack triggered widespread outrage in India and abroad.
