CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News /Agencies/ Bhopal: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has conducted searches at 33 locations across six states as part of its investigation into an alleged illegal online betting network. The searches were carried out following inputs provided by Saurabh during questioning. Investigators reportedly discovered live betting panels and collected digital devices and documents that could help trace the network’s operations and financial transactions.
According to information available, the operation focused on locations suspected of being connected to the online betting syndicate. During the searches, the CBI found active betting panels allegedly being used to facilitate online wagering. Electronic devices, mobile phones and other documents were also seized for further examination.
Rented Bank Accounts Used to Transfer Money Abroad
Investigators suspect that the network relied on bank accounts opened or operated in the names of other individuals to collect and transfer betting proceeds. These accounts, commonly described as mule accounts, were allegedly used to move money through multiple transactions and send funds abroad.
The agency is examining the suspected financial trail, including the role of intermediaries and possible links with hawala channels. The investigation is aimed at identifying those who managed the betting panels, handled the money and facilitated cross-border transfers.
Digital Evidence Under Scrutiny
The seized electronic material is being analysed to establish connections between the betting platforms, their operators and the financial network. Investigators are also examining whether the same accounts and digital infrastructure were used across different locations.
The CBI’s searches mark a further step in the investigation into the alleged betting racket. Further action is expected based on the evidence recovered during the operation. The allegations are under investigation, and the role of those involved will be established through the legal process.
