The police were on May 5 informed about the illegal gaming house at a shop in Krishna Kunj in Laxmi Nagar. They said the accused ran the illegal gaming house as a cyber cafe, which boasted PlayStations and desktop computers used to operate the betting racket.
The accused have been identified as Amit Kashyap, Rohit Sharma, Sunny Chhabra, Sachin Kumar, Rishi Kesh and Pankaj Mishra.
The accused had installed a betting software in the PlayStations, which were connected to the desktop computers through which the gambling racket was run. Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Pankaj Singh said the raiding team found 15 PlayStations and desktop computers, which were used to play online bidding games.
Customers had to bid a minimum of ₹1,000 on the online game.
“Lucky customers were promised ₹36,000,” said Mr. Singh.
