Jaipur, Feb 24 (NationPress) In a major crackdown, the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) in Rajasthan executed a raid at a residence located in the Narayan Vihar area, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Mansarovar police station, revealing a large-scale online betting operation facilitated through the Mahadev Betting App.
The authorities apprehended two suspects and confiscated luxury cars, mobile devices, foreign currency, and various incriminating items.
According to Additional Director General of Police (AGTF) Dinesh MN, the detained suspects, Robin Kumar (32) and Ravi Godara (31), were managing an illicit betting scheme encompassing over 70 online games. The police seized four high-end vehicles, including a Range Rover, Defender, Volvo, and Scorpio, alongside foreign and Indian currency amounting to lakhs, ten mobile devices, three passports, and UAE resident cards.
The individuals were utilizing rented bank accounts and mobile SIM cards registered under fictitious names to execute financial transactions worth crores of rupees. Under the guidance of Deputy Director General of Police Yogesh Yadav and Additional Superintendent of Police Siddhant Sharma, intelligence teams were dispatched across various districts to track down criminal organizations, gangsters, and smugglers.
Following a tip-off, AGTF officials and the police team discovered that extensive online betting was being conducted at House No. B-58, Narayan Sagar ABC, Narayan Vihar. After coordinating with the Mansarovar SHO, a police team raided the site, apprehending Robin Kumar and Ravi Godara, who were found placing bets via the Mahadev Betting App. During questioning, the suspects disclosed that they had obtained a panel ID labeled 'All' from the MD Panel (Mahadev).
The master ID was under the control of their associates Mukesh Meena (Harmada, Jaipur) and Mahesh Punia (Beeper, Fatehpur, Sikar). Police inquiries into the allpanelexch.com website validated their access to the panel, enabling them to create and manage customer IDs for betting. Mahesh Punia generated customer IDs and allocated them to bettors. Rented bank accounts facilitated transactions, with QR codes associated with the betting panel for money reception.
Deposits from players were redirected to internal accounts, with winnings or losses reconciled via the Mahadev platform. Bets were placed on over 70 online games, including Teen Patti IC, Bollywood Casino, Mini Super Over, Lucky 15, Golden Roulette, and 32 Cards. The investigation continues, with efforts underway to locate additional participants in this extensive betting network, according to police officials.
