Rajasthan Police Busts Rs 150 Crore Online Betting Racket, 3 Arrested
Jaipur: Rajasthan Police have arrested three persons, including a software engineer, exposing a big online cricket betting ring. The gang had made bets of more than Rs 150 crore across the country, with a network spread to Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and several other states. Police have seized six Android mobile phones, two laptops, a hard drive and an SUV with 15 ATM cards from them. Alwar SP Sanjeev Nain said that the arrested accused used to cheat people by creating websites of online betting apps. Police recovered six Android mobiles, two laptops, a hard drive, 15 ATM cards of various banks and an SUV. According to police, the gang had set up about 30 websites on the lines of the Mahadev Satta app. These websites used to offer bets on other sports, including the IPL. In addition, online casinos and matka (such as Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Delhi, Jodhpur) and others were also available on these websites. The accused were actively involved in the entire organisation, from the developer to the distributor and whitewashing black money. More than 60,000 agents and players were involved in this racket, worth Rs 150 crore. Money earned from betting was distributed online and through hawala, which was used to purchase properties in several cities. A team from Udyog Nagar Police Station took action against Head Constable Sandeep working in the cyber cell on the basis of an intelligence tip. While returning from Agra after the blockade, Nitin Paliwal was stopped and questioned. A case was registered on the basis of information obtained from his mobile and laptop. During the investigation, the team also arrested Mahesh Sharma and Piyush Sharma from Mathura. He was arrested after inquiries and information obtained from his device revealed his involvement in an organised betting gang. The arrested accused include Nitin Paliwal of Scheme No. 10B in Alwar, Mahesh Sharma of Apnaghar Shalimar and Piyush Sharma of Shivaji Park. Police have remanded the accused for four days, and further investigation is ongoing.

Rockstar surprises fans with new GTA San Andreas iOS update
Source: Via Rockstar Games Rockstar Games has quietly released a new update for the classic version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on iOS, sparking surprise and delight among long-time fans. The update, titled version 2.2.21, went live on May 29, 2025, and targets key technical issues that had affected the mobile experience. This marks the fifth update in the past year for the original iOS version, not to be confused with the Definitive Edition. Classic San Andreas receives rare mobile update from Rockstar The biggest chunk of the update comes in the form of the solution to persistent frame rate issues. Several players had complained that GTA San Andreas was not able to sustain 30FPS or more on multiple iOS models. With release 2.2.21, Rockstar has finally fixed the issue, providing smoother gameplay on supported hardware. Traffic-related bugs, cars suddenly materializing or flying off ramps, are another large set of fixes included in the patch. In spite of the availability of the updated GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition on mobile devices, Rockstar has continued to update the original release to the surprise of the community. This support is particularly remarkable considering that the classic release has been out for well over a decade and many had assumed updates were no longer coming. Fans have turned to social media to thank Rockstar for its dedication to the older game, commending the improved performance and renewed playability. Full patch notes and community response As per the official patch notes published on Rockstar's support page , the update features three fundamental fixes: Fixed an issue that resulted in traffic appearing abruptly instead of fading in Fixed an issue that resulted in traffic flying away at high speeds when going down ramps Fixed an issue that resulted in a frame-rate limiter causing a lower than target FPS Though these changes may appear minor at first glance, they greatly improve the mobile gaming experience. The increase in frame rate, in fact, adds much-needed stability to gameplay, which has grown jerky on current hardware. Rockstar's surprise upgrade of the original GTA San Andreas on iOS shows that even classic titles continue to get a look. While fans continue to speculate Vice City's comeback in GTA 6 buzz, it's a nice reminder that the classics have not been neglected. Whether nostalgia or performance, San Andreas is just a little better now on iOS. Also Read: In GTA 6 civilians could call 911 and that might change how you play

Chinese mobile companies making more in India to dim regulatory glare
Chinese smartphone companies are now outsourcing production to Indian firms like Dixon Technologies. This follows a possible push from the Indian government. Brands are shifting manufacturing risks and aiming for cost reduction. Oppo's factory shipments have decreased due to outsourcing. Dixon anticipates significant smartphone production growth. Joint ventures and strategic partnerships are also emerging in the sector. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Chinese smartphone brands are increasingly outsourcing production to Indian contract manufacturers , benefiting the likes of Dixon Technologies and Bhagwati Products (Micromax), following what industry executives see as an unofficial nudge from having excess capacities in their own manufacturing facilities in India, Chinese smartphone brands are outsourcing a large part of production to companies that are participants in the government's production-linked incentive scheme , industry executives and market trackers are not just outsourcing volumes, but also shifting the risk of government interventions and scrutiny, they are on course to become more asset-light in India, where they face a tough regulatory environment. Offloading manufacturing - which incurs huge capital and operating expenses and has additional compliance issues - helps in cutting costs at a time when they are facing a liquidity crisis and stressed balance sheets, executives aware of the development told to Counterpoint Research, Oppo's shipments from its Noida factory fell 34% on-year in 2024 due to the increasing contribution of outsourced manufacturing by Dixon Technologies and Bhagwati a recent earnings call, Dixon Technologies chief executive Atul Lall projected the sales volume in India's smartphone market to be around 150 million a year. "Out of that 150-odd million, Android space is around 135-140 million. Various brands are manufacturing in-house. And the outsourcing opportunity is around 90 million. And including our new tie up of Vivo, we are targeting for around 60-65 million by next year," he made 28.3 million smartphones in fiscal 2025. Its projection for the this fiscal year is 43-44 said Dixon will be manufacturing 7-8 million smartphones for Realme (an Oppo subsidiary), which will be expanded in the next few years. It will also be supplying around 15-16 million smartphones to Vivo in January-March quarter of 2026, by when it expects to get government approvals for its joint venture with the Chinese such as Transsion and Vivo have also signed strategic partnerships with Dixon to form joint ventures where the volumes and revenues are split between the two partners."For Chinese companies, there seems to be an informal diktat from the government of India encouraging them to have some part of their volumes manufactured by Indian players. This is happening even though these companies have significant unutilised in-house manufacturing capacity," an industry executive who did not wish to be named told ET. Samsung, Oppo and Vivo each have around 60 million units of capacity in India, while their annual sales are around 20-25 million, market trackers queries to Oppo and Bhagwati didn't elicit any response till press time Tuesday."Given the low margins in assembly, to have a positive unit economics you need a large scale, which is there with EMS (electronics manufacturing services) players like us. You can only achieve so much scale with making for your own brand. The trend of in-house manufacturing moving towards outsourcing, it's primarily to deleverage their balance sheets," Lall told industry executive told ET that Chinese brands are choosing to make only their high-end and flagship models in-house, outsourcing the entry-level models to Indian contract manufacturers.
