New Delhi/Bengaluru. The Enforcement Directorate has arrested three co-founders of Gameskraft Technologies in connection with an alleged money laundering probe linked to online betting and financial irregularities. The investigation, estimated to involve nearly ₹1,000 crore in suspicious transactions, is being conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Searches Conducted Across Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru
The arrested individuals have been identified as Deepak Singh, Prithvi Raj Singh and Vikas Taneja. Officials said Deepak Singh and Prithvi Raj Singh were taken into custody from the Delhi-NCR region, while Vikas Taneja was arrested in Bengaluru.

Following the arrests, transit remand proceedings were initiated for the two accused arrested in Delhi-NCR so they could be produced before a Bengaluru court. Vikas Taneja was produced before the jurisdictional court in Bengaluru.
Gaming Transactions Under Financial Scrutiny
According to sources, the arrests are part of a wider investigation based on multiple FIRs filed against Gameskraft Technologies and related entities. The FIRs allege cheating and illegal betting activities through online gaming operations.
The ED is probing whether funds routed through gaming platforms were used to disguise betting-related transactions. Officials suspect that money collected from users may have been layered through multiple financial channels to conceal the original source and final beneficiaries.
Documents and Digital Records Seized
As part of the operation, ED teams conducted coordinated searches at around 17 locations across Delhi-NCR and Karnataka. The searches continued for several hours, and investigators reportedly seized key documents, digital records and financial transaction data.
Officials said the investigation is still at an early stage and all allegations will be verified through detailed forensic and financial analysis. Questioning of the arrested individuals is expected to focus on identifying other persons or entities connected to the alleged network.
Investigators are also examining whether the financial network involved layered transactions, offshore links or attempts to evade regulatory and banking scrutiny. Further summons or arrests have not been ruled out as the probe continues.
