Delhi Police cracked down on an illegal casino in the heart of the city yesterday, arresting five individuals involved in the shady operation. The raid, which took place in the upscale Khan Market area, uncovered a hidden basement where the illegal gambling den was operating.
According to sources, the casino had been functioning for several months, with high-stakes card games and roulette tables attracting a wealthy clientele. The operation was kept under wraps, with a strict entry policy ensuring only those with a referral could gain access to the underground establishment.
However, the Delhi Police received a tip-off about the illegal casino and launched a covert operation to gather evidence. After weeks of surveillance, they finally raided the location on Thursday evening, catching the operators and players red-handed.
The five individuals arrested in the raid have been identified as the mastermind behind the casino, two dealers, and two players. They have been charged with running an illegal gambling operation and face severe penalties under the Delhi Gambling Act.
During the raid, the police seized a significant amount of cash, along with gambling chips and other paraphernalia used in the illegal casino. They also confiscated several high-end vehicles parked outside the establishment, suspected to belong to the operators and players.
The crackdown on the illegal casino has sent shockwaves through Delhi’s underground gambling scene, with authorities warning that such operations will not be tolerated in the city. The Delhi Police have urged citizens to report any suspicious activities related to illegal gambling to help curb the rampant practice in the capital.
The arrested individuals are currently in police custody and will be produced before the court for further legal proceedings. The police have assured that they will leave no stone unturned in cracking down on illegal gambling activities in Delhi and will continue to take strict action against those involved in such operations.
