A juice seller and small time contractor from Bhilai who built a popular betting app are being chased by the cops for a 5000 crore rupees money laundering scam. Also involved are A- listers of Bollywood such as Ranbir Kapoor, social media influencers and India’s most popular standup comedian that endorsed their betting app. From a paan stall in Bhilai to the plush confines of Dubai, from hawala transactions to high-end weddings, this is the story of Sourabh Chandrakar, Ravi Uppal and Mahadev Book.
