Uthappa is also accused of violating the money laundering laws.
Uthappa has been asked to appear before ED on Monday, Yuvraj on Tuesday and Sood on Wednesday.
On Monday, Bengali actress and former Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mimi Chakraborty was questioned by the ED officials in Delhi for about nine hours in connection with the illegal betting app 1xBet, which she had endorsed.
The ED has also issued summons to Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela and Mimi's colleague in Tollywood, Ankush Hazra in the same case.
The two have been asked to turn up before the ED on Tuesday.
