The Tamil Nadu Police have conducted an extensive operation across suburban areas of Coimbatore, resulting in the seizure of a significant amount of cash and lottery tickets. Over 30 raids were carried out in a bid to clamp down on illegal gambling activities, which have become a major concern in the region.
In the raids, police seized a staggering Rs 2.25 crore in cash and 1,900 lottery tickets, which were being used for unlawful gambling operations. The authorities believe that the seized lottery tickets were being sold illegally in the area, as part of a broader gambling network.
This operation is a part of the Tamil Nadu Police’s ongoing efforts to tackle illegal gambling and related crimes, which have seen a significant rise in recent years. The police action has sent a strong message to those involved in these activities, reinforcing the commitment to safeguarding the public from illegal operations.
The police have confirmed that several individuals have been arrested in connection with the raids, and investigations are ongoing to dismantle the larger syndicates operating in the region. Authorities are also looking into the source of the illegal funds and are expected to conduct further raids to ensure that such operations are eradicated from the area.
With the rise of illegal gambling and its associated risks, the Tamil Nadu Police continue to focus on improving public safety by curbing these crimes and protecting citizens from their harmful effects.
