The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear on October 3 a bail plea of Chhattisgarh-based businessman Sunil Dammani, arrested in August last year in a money laundering case linked to the illegal gambling Mahadev app.

A bench led by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud will review the urgent plea, as Damani has been jailed for over 13 months.

On August 23 last year, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Dammani along with three others for their alleged involvement in the Mahadev app money laundering case. The central probe agency also conducted searches at properties linked to multiple individuals, including Vinod Verma, advisor to former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel.
