Cops have got a tip off of the ongoing gambling dens in Bidipeth area. However, cops adapted a different approach since last few raids and involved teams from other areas to conduct the raid. This prevented information from leaking and helped cops to nab the culprits red-handed. Internal sources from cops had informed them about the gambling den active in Bidipeth area and a trap was laid on Tuesday after which the raid was conducted and cops arrested 11 persons and seized Rs 3.61 lakh, 10 mobile phones, a four-wheeler, a Pulsar motorcycle, Scooty Pep, one sword, a duplicate gun, 60 bottles of beer, and some ornaments collectively worth Rs 8.11 lakh. The culprits were caught red-handed betting.
The team led by Senior PI Karpe under the guidance of other senior officials. Later the accused were handed over to Sakkadara police who registered an offence and arrested all the 11 gamblers.
