Supreme Court Grants Bail To Sunil Dammani In Mahadev App Case

In a significant development, the Supreme Court granted bail to Sunil Dammani, who authorities arrested in connection with the Mahadev App money laundering case. The court imposed certain conditions, requiring Dammani to report to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office within 15 days.

The High Court had previously denied bail to both Sunil and his brother Anil Dammani. During the recent hearing, Dammani’s lawyer argued that his client had already spent over 13 months in jail. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud responded, stating, “We usually do not schedule cases for hearing on a specific day, but since this is a bail petition, we will hear it on October 3.” A bench comprising Chief Justice Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala, and Justice Manoj Mishra will review the case.

Sunil Dammani was arrested by the ED on August 23, along with three others, for their alleged involvement in the Mahadev App money laundering scheme. The agency also conducted searches at the properties of ten individuals, including Vinod, a political advisor to former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel.

In addition to Sunil, the ED arrested his brother Anil Dammani, Chhattisgarh Police Assistant Sub Inspector Chandra Bhushan Verma, and Raipur resident Satish Chandrakar. The investigation links to a 2022 FIR that the state police filed against the illegal gambling app Mahadev at the Mohan Nagar police station. According to the ED, the Dammani brothers own a jewelry shop and a petrol pump, and they allegedly played a role in hawala transactions.
