India.- New\u00a0operations against illegal gambling have been carried out<\/strong>\u00a0in the last three days in the city of Surat, in the state of Gujarat. In a series of raids, more than 450 people were arrested by officers from several police stations in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those arrested are accused of participating in activities linked to illegal gambling<\/strong>. During the operations, police seized cash and valuables worth over Rs 20 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The arrests coincided with Bhim Agiyaras, a religious festival that often sees an uptick in betting, which is why police intensified their operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A few days ago, police in Pune<\/a> arrested 36 people after discovering an alleged illegal gambling den located in the parking lot of a building in Mangalwar Peth. Meanwhile, India continues to consider the possible legalisation of gambling<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Police in Surat have carried out a series of raids over the last three days and arrested more than 450 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":26706,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Police in Surat, India, conducted extensive raids over three days, arresting over 450 individuals involved in illegal gambling and seizing significant assets.
