While investigating a money-laundering case connected to the illicit betting platform 1xbet, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) discovered that more than ₹331 crore was transferred through the bank account of a Delhi bike-taxi driver.
According to officials, the driver was discovered by the agency while conducting a financial investigation of questionable transactions. According to a report by news agency PTI, deposits totaling ₹331.36 crore were made into his account between August 19, 2024, and April 16, 2025. According to investigators, the account was utilized as a "mule," a front to transfer illicit payments using fictitious or contracted KYC information.
The driver lived in a modest two-room home and made a daily living using a well-known bike-taxi app, according to ED teams who raided the location listed in his bank records.

Additionally, the agency discovered that more than ₹1 crore from the deposits was used for an upscale destination wedding at an opulent Udaipur hotel. According to the source, a young Gujarati politician is connected to the incident and could be questioned.
Officials said that the driver informed investigators that he was unaware of the transactions or the individuals connected to the Udaipur wedding. According to the ED, the account received money from a number of unidentified sources, many of which were swiftly moved to other dubious accounts. Illegal betting enterprises have been identified as one source.

According to the article, the bureau is currently looking into other cash transfers associated with the account. As part of its broader investigation into the 1xbet network, the ED recently attached assets belonging to former cricket players Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina.
