May saw the federal investigation agency arrest Vikas Taneja, Prithvi Raj Singh, and Deepak Singh Ahlawat under the PMLA.

The Enforcement Directorate charged three founding directors of Gameskraft, an online gaming firm, and others with laundering illegal earnings from "cheating" rummy players on their platform on Saturday.

May saw the investigating agency arrest Vikas Taneja, Prithvi Raj Singh, and Deepak Singh Ahlawat under the PMLA. However, the Karnataka High Court declared their arrests invalid in June.

Officials said the three's chargesheet was legal because there was no limitation on submitting one, and the ED is preparing to appeal the HC verdict against their arrest to the Supreme Court.

The chargesheet accuses Gameskraft Technologies, RummyTime Technologies, the three founders, and others of laundering money from "cheating" online real money Rummy players. According to the ED, the Bengaluru court received the chargesheet on July 25.

The agency says the investigation is based on several Telangana police FIRs, including a few suicides caused by "financial and psychological distress" from addiction and game losses.

The ED reports that these accused firms made Rs 19,984 crore in commission from 2017-18 to 2025-26 (until 22/08/2025).

The regulator said Friday that Gameskraft's "addictive" gaming environment promoted "repeated wagering" and that it had attached Rs 1,906 crore in fresh assets.

The statement listed Gameskraft Technologies Pvt. Ltd. shareholders, their families, private family trusts, and related entities' bank and fixed deposits, mutual funds, convertible notes, equity shares, a farmhouse, and numerous residential and commercial real estate properties as provisionally attached.

The Indian government banned online money gambling in August 2025.

This case involves Rs 2,401 crore in seized, frozen, and attached assets.
