Sourabh Chandrakar, one of the promoters of the alleged Mahadev Online Book (MOB) illegal betting syndicate, has been extradited to India from Oman, a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) spokesperson said on Sunday (November 1, 2026).
Based on a Red Corner Notice issued against him, the Royal Oman Police located and detained Chandrakar. The CBI and the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) subsequently sent formal extradition proposals to Oman, along with the evidence gathered during the investigation. “The accused will be medically examined and taken to Raipur after obtaining a Transit Remand.
He will be produced before CBI Special Judge, Raipur on Monday [November 2],” said the official.
“CBI acknowledges with gratitude the cooperation extended by the Government of the Sultanate of Oman and the Royal Oman Police, which reflects the close and friendly relations between the two countries and their shared resolve to combat transnational organized crime,” said the official.
The official added that a CBI team specially deputed to Oman escorted Chandrakar back to India and that he would now be produced before the CBI Special Court in Raipur.
