Koderma: Police on Friday arrested nine members of an online betting gang operating from the Mitco Colony area under Telaiya police station limits here.
The gang allegedly ran the online betting racket from a rented house for the past three to four months and operated in shifts.
Taking to the media, SP Anudeep Singh said the accused lured people into playing various games through the "Reddy App", a platform used for illegal betting activities.
During the raid, which was carried out based on a tip-off, the police recovered bank passbooks, ATM cards, mobile phones, a scanner, and a swipe machine — equipment commonly used in online fraud.
Those arrested were identified as Samir Alam (Dhanbad), Raunak Kumar (Nawada in Bihar), Amit Kumar (Ara in Bihar), Prince Kumar (Dhanbad), Jitendra Kumar Singh (Patna), Manish Kumar (Samastipur in Bihar), Kunal Singh (Patna), Kulendra Kumar (Gaya), and Vikky Kumar (Ara).
Singh said, "We are conducting a thorough investigation of the case to determine the full extent of the fraud and how many people fell victim to this betting scam."
