The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has uncovered a major money laundering case involving a Rapido bike taxi driver in Delhi, whose bank account saw ₹331.36 crore worth of transactions between August 2024 and April 2025. The driver, who typically earns just ₹500-600 daily and lives in a small two-room home, was unaware of these huge sums moving through his account.

Yes, you heard that right – the same dude who picks you up in the rain for Rs 87 just secretly bankrolled over Rs 1… pic.twitter.com/s6a68k2OOn
Investigations revealed that the account acted as a “mule account”, a bank account used to funnel money for illegal activities linked to the online betting network 1xBet. Deposits in crores flowed into this account, which was then used to pay for a lavish wedding in Udaipur costing over ₹1 crore. This wedding was connected to a young politician from Gujarat, who may be called in for questioning by the ED.
The driver denied any knowledge of the transactions or links to the wedding couple. The ED is now probing who controlled the account and tracked where the large sums were sent. This case is part of a broader investigation into illegal betting and money laundering networks involving multiple high-profile individuals and transactions.
The ED had earlier seized assets linked to some cricketers as part of this probe. The situation highlights how small accounts are exploited for huge money laundering operations through online illegal betting syndicates. Officials continue to investigate the full extent and connections of these suspicious financial flows.
