Suresh Raina in Trouble? ED Summons Ex-India Star Over 1xBet Betting Scandal – Big Names Under Scanner!

In a sensational development, former India cricketer Suresh Raina has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in connection with the promotion of the controversial online betting app 1xBet. Raina, who has played 18 Tests, 221 ODIs, and 78 T20Is for India, is currently the brand ambassador of the app and is expected to appear before the ED headquarters in Delhi on Wednesday, August 13.
According to sources, the ED will record his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as part of a wider probe into illegal betting platforms. Raina’s name has surfaced through his endorsements of 1xBet, and investigators will seek clarity on his role and association with the platform.
This case is part of a larger investigation targeting multiple illegal betting apps accused of duping people and investors of crores of rupees. Notably, Raina is not the only high-profile figure under the scanner — several cricketers and Bollywood celebrities are also being probed for alleged links with such platforms.
The ED aims to uncover financial trails, marketing deals, and possible violations connected to these endorsements. For now, all eyes will be on Raina’s appearance before the agency as fans and the cricketing fraternity await clarity on the allegations surrounding one of India’s most celebrated white-ball cricketers.
This could potentially be one of the biggest celebrity betting investigations in recent years, with more shocking revelations expected in the coming days.
