The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday conducted raids at multiple locations linked to Ease My Trip in connection with the Mahadev Betting App case, CNBC TV18 reported citing sources. The stock of the online travel platform fell over 7% to Rs 12.4 following reports of action by the investigation agency.
The channel reported told that the raids are currently underway at 15 locations, including Delhi, Mumbai, Gurugram, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Indore, Jaipur, Chennai, and Sambalpur. The central agency is also conducting searches at premises of Nishant Pitti, founder and chairman of the online travel booking platform.
