New Delhi: Four people were arrested for running an IPL betting syndicate from a Delhi house, police said on Saturday.
Rakesh Sethi (45), Bantu Nagpal (33), Sanjay Hasija (32) and Vishu Sethi (22) were arrested at a house in the Rohini area.
Police said Sethi, a mechanical engineer and kingpin of the syndicate, disclosed that he along with three others put bets on IPL cricket matches. They were also providing lines to several other bookies.
The accused were earlier operating from Sonipat in Haryana but the local police became suspicious about their activities and they decided to move to Delhi.
Police have also recovered 40 mobile phones, a television, a mobile signal booster, a laptop, a printer, a voice recorder along with notebooks for entering the bets.
Three mobile phones were being used to convey betting rates to the bookies. The gang had accepted bets of nearly Rs10 million (Dh610,000) during the current IPL season.
