Sohna police have arrested four men allegedly involved in an online betting scam that defrauded victims of Rs7–8 crore. The arrests took place during a late-night checkpoint near Ambedkar Chowk, where the suspects were caught carrying Rs3 lakh in cash, officials said.
The accused, all residents of Chandeni village in Nuh, were identified as:
Saddam, 32
Shahrukh, 30
Moshin, 30
Mohammed Irshad, 33
Police investigations revealed that the gang lured thousands of people into betting on a fake app. Saddam, the main operator, had reportedly conducted transactions worth Rs16 crore, as traced through a technical analysis of his bank accounts. A subsequent raid on his residence led to the recovery of Rs20.78 lakh, a Black Scorpio car, and 14 stamp papers.
Authorities said the suspects stored cash in jars and containers at their homes. During interrogation, they admitted that the profits from cheating were divided among the four accused.
An FIR has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The four accused were produced before a local court and sent for a six-day police remand as investigations continue. Police are also probing further connections and accomplices involved in the scam.
