Yuvraj Singh, Robin Uthappa, Sonu Sood Summoned By Probe Agency In Betting Apps Case

Cricketers Robin Uthappa and Yuvraj Singh and actor Sonu Sood are now on a growing list of celebrities to be probed by federal officials over the endorsement of illegal betting apps and, in Mr Uthappa's case, the alleged violation of money-laundering laws. All three have been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate next week; Mr Uthappa on Monday, Mr Singh on Tuesday, and Mr Sood on Wednesday.

They join two other ex- cricketers, Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina, as well as actor Urvashi Rautela and Trinamool MP Mimi Chakraborty, in being questioned by the ED as it investigates money-laundering and tax evasion by the 1xBet app, which advertised frequently during live screening of cricket matches.
