Ahmedabad turns into a hotspot for gambling activities

This is yet another case when gambling activities have taken place at the same location of Ahmedabad. Just ten days ago, the Bopal police had busted two more gambling dens and arrested multiple people. The police had received a tip-off on 1 August about a few people who were involved in gambling at an open space behind Auda garden near Sobo centre in south Bopal. Seven people were arrested and INR 44,870 and other items used while gambling were seized. The other incidents that occurred in the recent time was on 28 July when 9 people were arrested from a house in Shela village. Among the nine people involved in gambling were six women and three men. They were booked under the Public Gambling Act and INR 33,450 was seized. 

These incidents throw light on how people have been engaging in gambling activities during the pandemic. This lockdown could be the reason for increased illegal activities since many people have been unemployed, a major fallout of the current situation due to the spread of coronavirus.
