₹331 Crore Found in Rapido Driver’s Bank Account; ED Shocked as Betting App and Money-Laundering Trail Emerges

₹331 Crore Found in Rapido Driver’s Bank Account:
In a startling revelation, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has uncovered ₹331.36 crore in transactions routed through the bank account of a Delhi-based Rapido bike-taxi driver, who reportedly earns just ₹500–600 a day and lives in a small hut.

The discovery was made while the ED was investigating suspicious money flow linked to a lavish wedding in Udaipur. The case involved illegal online betting applications, hawala channels and large-scale money laundering.

During scrutiny of multiple bank accounts involved in the network, ED analysts found unusually high-value credits and debits in the driver’s account. Shockingly, the total transaction amount exceeded ₹331 crore.

The driver, who survives on daily wages, told investigators that he had no knowledge of any such transactions and was stunned to learn that his account was used.

Early findings indicate:

• The driver’s account may have been used as a mule by operators of illegal betting apps.

• Fake KYC and forged documents may have been used to open or control the account.

• Money-laundering networks often use accounts belonging to poor or unaware individuals to route high-volume funds.

ED officials believe the case may be part of a much larger international betting scam, with links to offshore servers, shell companies and hawala operators.

Further investigation is underway to identify the masterminds behind the operation and understand how the account was accessed and controlled without the driver’s knowledge.

The case has sparked concern over how vulnerable citizens are exploited in large financial crimes without their awareness.
