Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh - As Diwali approaches, Bhopal continues to see a surge in illegal gambling dens despite over 100 police raids over the past three months. These dens are now operating from hotels, luxury resorts and beauty parlours to avoid detection. Major gambling operators continue to pose a challenge to the police, with many moving their activities to private premises.
Allegations of police involvement in gambling have resulted in the suspension of five police personnel, including three station house officers, a sub-inspector and a constable. A recent raid in Bajaria exposed an organized gambling network operated by criminal Rusi Khan, complete with a CCTV surveillance system. Multiple raids have targeted high-profile individuals, including those from Haryana, in various locations like hotels and resorts.
Police commissioner Sanjay Kumar has issued strict instructions to deal with gambling activities, warning of disciplinary action for negligence.
