New Delhi, Sep 4: Cricketer Shikhar Dhawan was on Thursday summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in an alleged illegal betting app-linked money laundering case.

According to reports, the probe relates to 1xBet, an online betting platform, which Dhawan has allegedly been promoting on social media.

As part of the investigation, the federal probe agency will record the statement of the cricketer under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The agency is probing multiple such cases involving illegal betting apps that are alleged to have duped numerous people and investors worth crores of rupees or have evaded a huge amount of taxes.

Since last year, multiple Bollywood and South Indian film stars and cricketers have been under the scanner for allegedly promoting illegal betting apps.
