    Vinay Vangala, a 40-year-old private employee from Matrushrinagar, filed the complaint. He noticed that students at a training institute in Ameerpet were frequently discussing these betting platforms. He was especially worried about how these apps are widely promoted on social media, making gambling more tempting and risky for young adults.

    Mr. Vangala admitted that he himself was almost drawn into using one of these apps. However, he decided against it after his family warned him about the dangers. In his complaint, he provided the police with details about social media influencers who were allegedly promoting these betting applications. He also gave information about their online activities and the names of the apps involved.

    Police sources say that these betting apps have facilitated transactions worth thousands of crores. This has raised serious concerns about their unchecked operations. Mr. Vangala has also offered to assist the police in their investigation.

    Based on the complaint, the Punjagutta police have registered a case under various legal sections, including Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Sections 3, 3A, and 4 of the Gaming Act, and Section 66D of the IT Act. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities looking into the role of digital platforms and influencers in promoting illegal gambling.

    Officials have reassured the public that they are committed to stopping such activities. They have urged people to stay cautious and avoid online betting schemes that could lead to serious financial losses.
