With the arrest of eight persons, the local police have busted an online gambling racket in Fazilka.

According to sources, officials raided a private hotel along the Ferozepur road, where some persons were found engaged in illegal online gambling on their mobile phones.

Fazilka Senior Superintendent of Police Varinder Singh Brar said the accused operated a covert online gambling network using mobile phones and fake bank accounts to ensure that there was no direct financial trail. He said the police had seized multiple phones and identified the bank accounts used for illegal transactions.

The alleged kingpin of the group, Sonu Dhuria, and others, including Rajesh Dhuria, Kuldeep Kumar, Ajay Sunda, Shiva Wadhwa, Rupesh Singh, Anil Kumar and Iqbal Tank were nabbed on Thursday night. They were booked under Section 13/3/367 of the Gambling Act and Section 112 of the BNS.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
