GREATER NOIDA: IPL betting mastermind Shyam Vohra and his three accomplices who have been arrested from a highrise condo in Greater Noida on April 20 for allegedly running a betting racket, had been granted bail inside of 15 days in their arrest on Friday.
The four accused had been released from prison on Saturday.
Shyam Vohra, Shailesh Agarwal, Ankit Agarwal – all residents of Agra and Jatin, a resident of Sonipat, have been arrested from a rented flat in Jaypee Greens Society of Greater Noida and Rs 21 lakh in cash, 40 cell phone units, three laptops, two wireless modems, one cell sign booster antenna, three LED TVs and one printer have been seized from them.
SHO, Kasna, Brijesh Verma told TOI that all of the four accused had been granted bail by means of the court of the additional district judge on Friday.
“They have been released after crowning glory of all formalities on Saturday,” he stated.
While the release comes at a time when the IPL is in full swing, police have stated that with the intention to prevent the accused from beginning betting again, they will be booked below Goondas Act.
“We will initiate lawsuits below Goondas Act towards them soon,” Verma stated.
After the STF arrested the gang contributors and took them on remand for 9 hours on April 26, they have been handed over to the Kasna police.
The STF had stated that the four had told police officers all the way through questioning they used an application — Cricket Liveline — which gives real-time updates on cricket suits for betting.
Since the updates given by means of the app are a couple of seconds previous than those in TV channels, the bookies would put a gamble on each ball. A participant can be considered to have lost the cash if his prediction was once unsuitable, officers had stated.
