Sahil Khan’s Evasion: Traveled Through 6 States in 4 Days Amid Mahadev Betting App Case, Sources Say

Sahil Khan, an actor and influencer, traveled across six states in four days to elude arrest before being taken into custody by the Mumbai police crime division on Sunday morning. Khan was originally from Chhattisgarh. Known for his parts in comedic films such as “Style” and “Excuse Me,” the 47-year-old actor departed from Maharashtra on April 25 and covered around 1800 miles in four days.

According to sources, Khan started his journey in Goa, moved on to Karnataka, and finally arrived in Hubballi city. In a private vehicle, he eventually arrived in Hyderabad. There, he dressed simply and covered his face with a scarf in an attempt to hide his identity. The insider went on to say that Khan fled to Chhattisgarh when the police followed him down while he was in Hyderabad. Even in Chhattisgarh, he passed through the Naxalite region, but the driver would not go that far at night.

When the authorities learned he was lodging at the Hotel Aaradhya International in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, they took him into custody. For seventy-two hours, the Mumbai police had been following the actor. They also took two cell phones and some cash from him while he was being held.

His appeal for anticipatory relief was denied last Wednesday by the Bombay High Court, leading to his arrest by the Special Investigating Team (SIT) of the Mumbai cyber police. Khan was purportedly the owner of one of these betting applications, according to the authorities. His detention by the police has been postponed until May 1.

Tamannaah Bhatia Requests Extension After Maharashtra Cyber Cell Summons in Illegal IPL Streaming Case: Report

In response to the Maharashtra Cyber Cell summons regarding the unlawful IPL match streaming issue, actor Tamannaah Bhatia has responded. While the actress has not yet released a statement to the media, she has asked the Cyber Cell to provide a later appearance date. On April 29, Tamannaah was scheduled to testify as a witness. Last week, the Maharashtra Cyber Cell invited Sanjay Dutt to make an appearance as well. However, because of his filming commitments, he too sought a later time. “Tamannaah Bhatia has informed the cyber team that she is not in Mumbai and could appear again at a later date,” sources said. Cyber Cell still hasn’t disclosed the revised date.

Tamannaah’s name was in the news last week due to an unlawful IPL match streaming issue. The illegal streaming of the 2023 Indian Premier League on the Fairplay App, which cost Viacom millions of rupees, has prompted Maharashtra Cyber to summon actor Tamannaah Bhatia to appear in court. Last Monday, she posted on X that she had been called to appear before Maharashtra Cyber on April 29. Tamannaah is said to have supported and advertised FairPlay’s Mahadev betting app, a subsidiary app.

After the initial information report was filed, several celebrities were called in for questioning, including Tamannaah, Sanjay Dutt, Badshah, and Jacqueline Fernandez.
