In a major crackdown on illegal gambling activities, the Karkala Police have busted a well-organized gambling operation and arrested 11 individuals involved in the racket. The operation was unearthed after a tip-off from a concerned citizen who reported suspicious activities in a secluded area on the outskirts of the town.
According to police sources, the gambling den was operating in a makeshift tent set up in a remote field, away from the prying eyes of the public. The organizers had taken elaborate measures to ensure that the operation remained hidden from law enforcement authorities, including posting lookouts to alert them about any approaching police personnel.
Upon receiving the tip-off, a team of officers from the Karkala Police Department swiftly moved in and conducted a raid on the gambling den. The raiding party was shocked to find a large number of people engaged in various forms of illegal gambling, including card games and dice games. The organizers had also set up betting booths for individuals to place bets on different outcomes.
In a coordinated operation, the police officers conducted a thorough search of the premises and seized a significant amount of cash, gambling paraphernalia, and electronic devices used in the operation. The arrested individuals were charged with offenses related to illegal gambling under the Karnataka Police Act and were taken into custody for further questioning.
Speaking to reporters, Karkala Police Superintendent Mr. Ravi Kumar commended the efforts of his team in cracking down on illegal gambling activities in the region. He emphasized the commitment of the police department to root out such illicit operations and maintain law and order in the town.
