Police bust betting racket during women's cricket match in Indore
Indore: In a late-night operation on Wednesday, Rajendra Nagar police searched a cricket turf and busted a betting racket that was operating under the guise of a women's cricket match.
Additional DCP Alok Sharma said that the match was being streamed live on YouTube under the name 'Female Indoor Cricket League', while bets were being placed through a mobile application called '1X' allegedly operated from Delhi.
Sharma said that the authorities received intelligence about these activities for some time, particularly regarding matches held at a turf near Treasure Town Colony in Bijalpur, where female players participated in seemingly legitimate games that were used as a front for illegal online betting.
Acting on this information, the police team reached the location and detained Anurag Dalal, who was living at a rented accommodation in Treasure Town and is originally from Delhi.
During questioning, Anurag revealed that the entire operation was orchestrated by his friend Siddharth Rai, who resides in Delhi. According to Anurag, Siddharth handled the live broadcast of the matches on YouTube and facilitated the betting transactions using a specially developed application.

Based on this revelation, Siddharth has also been named as an accused, and efforts are underway to track him down, along with other individuals involved in the network.
Sharma said that a team will be sent to Delhi in search of the accused. At the time of the search, women were actively playing cricket on the turf while two cameras captured the live footage for the YouTube stream. "It is a matter of investigation if the women knew about the betting.
Actions will be taken if necessary," he said.
The police seized several electronic items from the site, including two mobile phones, a customised CPU, two monitors, two cameras, a UPS, a Cyber Power DVR and a router. In addition, a diary containing betting records and approximately Rs 35,000 in cash were also recovered. The police are now analysing technical evidence to expose the full extent of the betting syndicate.
