The Telangana Crime Investigation Department’s special investigation team arrested 11 people while busting an inter-state Dafabet online betting network.
Officers seized luxury cars, laptops, mobile phones, and cash during raids tied to the gambling operation. Dafabet, an international betting brand, featured in the syndicate’s online platform used to recruit punters across state lines.
India has intensified action against illegal online betting rings that route payments through shell accounts and cryptocurrency. Telangana has been among states deploying dedicated cyber and economic offence units to dismantle such networks.
Seized electronics will be examined for ledger data, chat records, and links to promoters operating outside Telangana. Luxury vehicle confiscations suggest investigators believe proceeds from betting funded visible assets among ring leaders.
Online betting cases often involve coordination with financial regulators to freeze accounts and with other states where agents recruited customers. The 11 arrests represent a significant operational strike against one branded platform in the region.
Prosecutors will seek remand for the eleven detainees while forensic teams extract betting ledgers from seized laptops and phones. Telangana has previously classified large-scale online wagering as a threat to youth and household savings, justifying dedicated CID task forces.
Betting proceeds seized as cash during the Telangana raids will be counted and documented as material evidence in forthcoming chargesheets.
