ED Attaches ₹7.93 Crore Assets Of Yuvraj Singh, Sonu Sood In 1xBet Money Laundering Case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached assets worth approximately ₹7.93 crore belonging to several well-known personalities, including former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, actor Sonu Sood, and properties linked to the mother of model and actor Urvashi Rautela. The action is part of an ongoing money laundering investigation connected to the illegal online betting platform 1xBet.

According to officials, the case relates to an offshore betting app registered in Curaçao that allegedly operated illegally in India without the required permissions. Investigators have alleged that the platform used more than 6,000 mule bank accounts to launder funds exceeding ₹1,000 crore. The individuals whose assets have now been attached were previously questioned by the ED in connection with the probe. The agency has classified the attached properties as "proceeds of crime" under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

As per ED records, the attached assets include ₹2.5 crore linked to Yuvraj Singh, ₹1 crore belonging to Sonu Sood, and ₹2.02 crore connected to Urvashi Rautela's mother. Assets worth ₹8.26 lakh have been provisionally attached in the name of former cricketer Robin Uthappa. Actor and MP Mimi Chakraborty's attached assets are valued at ₹59 lakh, while actor Neha Sharma's assets amount to ₹1.26 crore. In addition, properties worth ₹47 lakh linked to actor Ankush Hazra have also been attached.

The ED has stated that this is not the first round of attachments in the case. Earlier, the agency had provisionally attached assets worth ₹11.14 crore belonging to cricketers Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina in connection with the same investigation. With the latest action, the total value of assets attached in the case has crossed ₹19 crore.

Officials have indicated that the investigation is still underway and further attachments cannot be ruled out as the probe into the alleged money laundering network linked to the betting app continues.
