Satta racket unearthed

Cash, jewellery seized from Garhi flat

The Delhi Police have arrested three persons for allegedly running a ‘satta’ racket in the city.

Sunny alias Bablu (30), Sanjay (43) and Sagar (28) were nabbed from a DDA flat in Garhi. Gold jewellery, ₹2.43 lakh in cash, five mobile phones, playing cards and dice mixers were seized from the accused.

‘Links with criminal’

Bablu is allegedly the financier of criminal Ravi Gangwal, who was arrested last week, and it was during Gangwal’s interrogation that the police learnt about the racket.

Bablu is allegedly involved in several cases of murder and the Arms Act. Sanjay is an electrician, while Sagar works with a catering company.

“A case under Sections 3 and 4/9/55 of the Gambling Act has been registered at the Amar Colony police station. Further investigation is in progress,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South-East) Romil Baaniya.

Gangwal, along with two of his associates, was arrested from near south-east Delhi’s Iskon Temple on May 25. The police had seized knives, a Turkey-made pistol and live cartridges from their possession.
