They were questioned as part of the ED's investigation into promotion of banned online betting app platforms like 1xBet. The platforms were using 'surrogate names', such as 1xbat, in ad campaigns that include web links and QR codes to redirect users to the original (and illegal) betting platform in blatant violation of current laws, said sources.
