The mastermind behind the right-wing X, formerly Twitter, account ‘Inevitable West’ has been exposed as an alleged Indian crypto scammer and political grifter following a major blunder.
Saurabh Chandrakar, linked to the controversial Mahadev betting app, mistakenly promoted the app on his main social media account, inadvertently leading to his identification. This error sparked online investigations, which uncovered his alleged involvement in a massive money-laundering operation connected to the app.

According to Indian news outlets, Chandrakar, a prominent figure behind the Mahadev betting app, is currently under house arrest in Dubai after being detained following an Interpol-issued Red Notice. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in India is actively seeking his extradition to face charges related to money laundering, with estimates suggesting the illicit proceeds could amount to ₹6,000 crore (approximately $680 million). His case has become more complex as it is allegedly linked to several high-ranking politicians and bureaucrats in Chhattisgarh. So far, 11 individuals have been arrested, and two charge sheets have been filed.
The Mahadev app has become a focal point of controversy, drawing attention to Chandrakar’s background. Reports suggest that he, along with business partner Ravi Uppal, allegedly ran the app as part of a larger scheme that defrauded thousands of people. The scale of the operation has raised further questions, particularly after reports surfaced of Chandrakar hosting a lavish wedding in Dubai.
In addition to his business dealings, Chandrakar gained notoriety on social media under the pseudonym ‘Inevitable West,’ where his account quickly gained traction. X users noticed a rapid surge in followers, with some speculating that his posts were picked up by high-profile individuals, including Elon Musk, which allegedly contributed to his skyrocketing popularity.
Despite the growing backlash and allegations, ‘@Inevitablewest’ has continued to post right-wing content on X, reportedly blocking users who criticized the account or connected it to the Mahadev app scam.
As of writing this article, the account boasts over 200,000 followers but it has yet to address any of the ongoing allegations.
