Sahil Khan’s Evasion: Traveled Through 6 States in 4 Days Amid Mahadev Betting App Case, Sources Say
Sahil Khan, an actor and influencer, traveled across six states in four days to elude arrest before being taken into custody by the Mumbai police crime division on Sunday morning. Khan was originally from Chhattisgarh. Known for his parts in comedic films such as “Style” and “Excuse Me,” the 47-year-old actor departed from Maharashtra on April 25 and covered around 1800 miles in four days.
According to sources, Khan started his journey in Goa, moved on to Karnataka, and finally arrived in Hubballi city. In a private vehicle, he eventually arrived in Hyderabad. There, he dressed simply and covered his face with a scarf in an attempt to hide his identity. The insider went on to say that Khan fled to Chhattisgarh when the police followed him down while he was in Hyderabad. Even in Chhattisgarh, he passed through the Naxalite region, but the driver would not go that far at night.
When the authorities learned he was lodging at the Hotel Aaradhya International in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, they took him into custody. For seventy-two hours, the Mumbai police had been following the actor. They also took two cell phones and some cash from him while he was being held.

Khan has been detained because of his purported role in the Mahadev betting app scandal, which is said to have enabled illicit transactions and gaming. His appeal for anticipatory relief was denied last Wednesday by the Bombay High Court, leading to his arrest by the Special Investigating Team (SIT) of the Mumbai cyber police. Khan was purportedly the owner of one of these betting applications, according to the authorities. His detention by the police has been postponed until May 1.
