Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Police have detained four persons from Indore in Madhya Pradesh after busting a betting syndicate being operated from Dubai under the guise of online gaming, a police official said on Thursday.

Based on a tip-off, a house in Palsikar Colony here was raided.

A betting gang was found there operating under the pretext of online gaming, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Dandotiya said.

Four persons, working as local agents of a syndicate operating from Dubai, were detained from the house, he said.

An initial probe indicated the gang was being operated from Dubai through a website and had its agents in different cities of India, the official said.

"During interrogation, the accused disclosed that people have a little chance of winning in betting going on under the guise of online gaming, while the gang operators and agents get a lot of money," he said.
