BHILAI,

A GAMBLING accused triple-storey
building during a police raid in
Hyderabad succumbed to injuries
in hopsital. Following an autopsy,
Gowlidoddi police handed over the
body to the family, who have since
transported it to Bhilai, police
reported.
According to police sources, the
deceased has been identified as
Sujit Sao, 24, son of Pramod Sao, a
resident of Road No. 18, Camp-1,
Bhilai. The police stated that on
June 28, while attempting to crack
down on an online gambling racket, the Durg police team raided an
apartment in Gowlidoddi,
Hyderabad.

The raid was based on
a tip-off, and after tracking and
camping in the city, the team
moved in.
During the raid, Sujit Sao, in an
effort to evade arrest, jumped off
the triple-storey building and was
critically injured. He was admitted to a hospital in Hyderabad city
but passed away during treatment
on Thursday noon.
After completing his post-graduation, Sujit Sao was looking for a
job when he came into contact
with Vinay Yadav, the kingpin of the Mahadev gambling app, from Ruabandha, Bhilai. Yadav lured
Sujit to Hyderabad under the pretext of a catering job with a handsome salary but eventually misled him into making fast money
through online gambling.

Sujit Sao was among six other accused
operating the online gambling racket from the apartment when
the police raid occurred, leading to his tragic end. ASP (City)
Sukhnandan Rathore informed the newspaper that after the
Gowlidoddi police handed over the body, the family transported
it to Bhilai. The body is preserved in the morgue of Government
Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital, Supela, Bhilai, awaiting the arrival
of relatives. Sujit Sao was one of the accused involved in operating the gambling racket from the apartment.
