Reports from Mohali, India have surfaced stating that police have arrested nine suspects involved in an illegal gambling syndicate. Authorities found and seized the sizable amount of $86,926 along with 20 cell phones, SIM cards and one laptop after raiding the criminal’s house, following a long investigation to thwart the operation. For some reason, illegal gambling operations in India still exist when there are already multiple online casinos and sportsbooks that offer a much safer way to bet.

He said that all the accused got caught “red-handed” with the operation focusing on the online betting market.
Meanwhile, in Delhi, police have caught two men who chose not to wear masks after attending a live match in a stadium. The astonishing lapse of concentration of not fulfilling the simple rules had them actually further investigated, and they turned out to be involved as part of sourcing information relating to the match for a sportsbook in Dubai. Police later arrested another man, who admitted he was also an employee of the bookie and as a result, further investigations will be conducted.
Delhi police said that the two men in question were observing an Indian Premier League match and that twelve other suspects, which also includes one man living in Dubai, have been confirmed part of an online betting organisation, with conference calls being made amongst the suspects. All have made substantial amounts of money through online betting. The preparation and use of accreditation cards from a supervisor of IBS company, Pramod Kumar, were reportedly found on some suspects in question as the anti-corruption unit handled the case.
