New Delhi: Travel booking platform EaseMyTrip on Thursday denied any direct or indirect association with the Mahadev betting app or any other betting platform, a day after the Enforcement Directorate searched the premises of its Co-Founder, Nishant Pitti.

The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday searched the premises of online travel booking portal EaseMyTrip's Co-Founder Nishant Pitti as part of fresh multi-state raids in the Mahadev online betting app-linked money laundering case, officials said.
