The executives detained were Deepak Singh, Prithvi Raj Singh and Vikas Taneja. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to authorities, Deepak Singh and Prithvi Raj Singh were taken into custody in the Delhi-NCR region, while Taneja was arrested in Bengaluru. The arrests followed a series of raids conducted on May 7 across 17 locations in Karnataka and Delhi-NCR linked to Gameskraft, its founders and employees. During the operations, investigators reportedly seized documents and other materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investigation was launched after multiple police complaints made allegations of cheating and fraud tied to real-money gaming platforms, including the RummyCulture and the rummytime apps. Authorities also said several complaints are linked to suicides involving users who allegedly lost money through the platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/8d9e7cf9-7ea4-437d-9897-69f516b3b8a2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href='https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/delhi-police-arrest-29-over-alleged-illegal-gambling'>Delhi Police arrest 29 over alleged illegal gambling<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Enforcement Directorate detained three executives of Gameskraft following raids in Delhi and Bengaluru.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":680,"featured_media":15318,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"","focusai_entities":"","focusai_location":"","focusai_target_profile":"","focusai_suggestions":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[439,16334],"tags":[24634,58,24764],"class_list":["post-777041935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-legal-news","category-south-asia-news","tag-illegal-online-gambling","tag-india","tag-money-laundering"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777041935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/680"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=777041935"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777041935\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":777041960,"href":"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777041935\/revisions\/777041960"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=777041935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=777041935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=777041935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
