Cricket betting accused removed from Udupi district
By ETF Desk
A man named R. Prasad, accused of running an illegal cricket betting syndicate, was officially removed from the Udupi district on Thursday following a comprehensive investigation by the local law enforcement agency.
The case against Prasad stemmed from repeated complaints from the community and evidence of large, unverified betting pools linked to several local cricket matches. Officials claim the crackdown is part of a broader initiative to curb illegal gambling, which they say has been linked to financial crime and organized crime networks in the coastal district.
Prasad’s removal to a controlled detention facility in Bangalore is intended to prevent any further illicit betting operations in Udupi. Local cricket clubs have expressed relief, while authorities will continue probing for possible collaborators. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
