Police in Delhi’s Kalyanpuri have arrested three and seized cash assets tied to an alleged illegal gambling operation.
The Special Staff of East District Police in Kalyanpuri have raided an alleged illegal gambling operation in a public location. Three men were arrested, found while “indulging in illegal gambling” according to the police report. Cash and illegal betting materials were also seized as part of the raid.
The raid took place on January 9 after the East District Police received information that illegal gambling was being operated near Trilokpuri Park in the Kalyanpuri area, in the vicinity of a public toilet. Once the information was verified, a team from the police conducted a raid on the location, finding and arresting 35-year-old Deepak Kumar, 26-year-old Govind, and 34-year-old Mohammed Amir.
Delhi raid led to the arrests of three men
All three are residents of Delhi. Kumar is suspected of managing and handling the cash stakes for the illegal gambling operation, Govind of accepting bets and maintaining betting slips, and Amir of coordinating with participants in the illegal games and recording the bets. It’s believed that the games were conducted in a public place in an attempt to avoid suspicion.
“The accused persons used to assemble at a public place to avoid suspicion, where they conducted illegal staking/gambling among local participants by verbally accepting bets, recording the details on paper and plastic slips, and collecting and circulating cash stake money on the spot,” states the police report.
A total cash amount of Rs. 12,090 ($150) was found and seized on the premises, along with other gambling-related materials like betting slips and a mobile phone. Further investigation is still ongoing.
Operators of an illegal gambling house in Delhi could face imprisonment of up to six months, a fine of up to Rs 1,000 ($11), and the potential forfeiture of any money and assets related to the illegal operation. This comes after a push in India to crack down on illegal gambling, both online and offline.

Fantasy sports operator PrizePicks has teamed up with Marshawn Lynch and Adam Devine for an ad poking fun at the flurry of sports season betting commercials.
PrizePicks has launched a tongue-in-cheek ad starring Marshawn Lynch and Adam Devine, poking fun at ad fatigue during the football postseason. The ad spot doesn’t name fantasy sports competitors but makes fun of the industry as a whole and the various gimmicks available nowadays. PrizePicks by comparison, according to the ad, is focused on what’s important to fans: getting it right.
“By this point in the season, sports fans have seen just about every gimmick imaginable,” said Mike Quigley, Chief Marketing Officer at PrizePicks. “This spot is about cutting through that clutter, having a little fun with the industry, and keeping the focus on what our players really care about during the playoffs.”
The ad sees Lynch and Devine playing the roles of pitchmen, working through various over-the-top stunts to try and grab the attention of fans. At the end, the pair highlights PrizePicks’ comparatively simple approach to sports entertainment. For example, you see them access PrizePicks’ Daily Fantasy Sports offers like Player Picks and its all-new prediction markets, Team Picks, on one unified app.

Some of the gimmicks featured in the 30-second ad include a dog, various stunts involving balls from different sports, and a woman rolled into the studio during a bubble bath. By contrast, Lynch and Devine are in a quiet purple vacuum, calmly discussing PrizePicks’ features.
How to watch the ad from PrizePicks
You can watch the advert, airing on social media, via the embedded YouTube video below. It was first published on January 8, and closes with PrizePicks’ latest slogan: “It’s good to be right.”

In a post on Instagram, Devine wrote: “I survived flying footballs, barking caped dogs, and Marshawn roasting me all day on set. But hey – @prizepicks adding Team Picks for the playoffs means there are officially more ways to get it right. And I’ll take all the help I can get.”
