Illegal gambling operation uncovered in Mangalore

In a swift crackdown on unlawful activities, Kankanady law enforcement officials apprehended three individuals involved in an underground matka gambling operation near a bar in Shaktinagar.

The arrested suspects have been identified as Harish Shetty, Janardhan, and Isaac. Authorities confiscated a sum of ₹20,720 in cash from their possession during the raid. The operation was carried out following intelligence reports about the illegal betting activities taking place in the area.

Matka gambling, a prohibited form of lottery-based wagering, has been a persistent concern for law enforcement, with several hotspots operating discreetly in urban and suburban regions. The latest bust underscores the police’s commitment to cracking down on illicit gambling networks that lure unsuspecting individuals into financial risks.

Officials have urged the public to report any suspicious activities related to betting and gaming, emphasizing the dangers of such practices, including financial losses and legal repercussions. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities looking into potential links to a larger gambling syndicate operating in the region.

With this latest action, law enforcement continues its drive to curb unlawful gaming operations and ensure public safety. Further inquiries may lead to additional arrests and dismantling of related networks.
