ED investigates ₹331cr money trail through bike rider's account at Udaipur wedding
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is digging into a ₹331 crore money laundering case tied to a lavish Udaipur wedding.
Strangely, the huge funds moved through the bank account of a Rapido bike rider who usually made just ₹500-600 a day.
Over ₹1 crore from his account paid for luxury wedding expenses at Taj Aravali in November 2024—even though he had no link to the event.
Betting links and political connections under scanner
Investigators believe the money came from illegal online betting, mainly via 1xBet, and was routed through the rider's account to hide its origins.
The focus is now on young Congress leader from the Rajasthan-Gujarat belt, Aditya Zula, who is linked to the wedding and whose family has a long political lineage.
Payment records show an elaborate setup to mask who really benefited.
The ED is still figuring out if the rider was tricked or forced into this—and continues tracking everyone involved in this web of transactions.
