“The police team raided the premises during a live IPL match and seized laptops, mobile phones, notebooks, and other gadgets used to manage real-time bets,” said DCP (Crime) Harsh Indora.
The accused were identified as Himanshu Gulati (49), Amit Kumar (32), and Amit Makol (43), all residents of Delhi. A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Delhi Public Gambling Act.
During questioning, the trio admitted to running a structured online betting syndicate. Himanshu, the alleged mastermind, managed communications with punters using a microphone and speaker, announcing live odds. He operated a Dell laptop with iAssistant software to log bets. Amit Kumar updated wagers in real time on a separate HP laptop, while Amit Makol maintained manual records and operated a betting app named “Supreme”, projecting odds on a connected LED screen.
