Udaipur, 1 September (Udaipur Kiran). In a major crackdown on cyber crime, Udaipur’s DST (District Special Team) and Ambamata Police Station exposed an online betting gang, arresting one accused and seizing several devices and bank cards.

On 31 August 2025, the team raided a house in Dewali Nimachkheda area and arrested accused Mayank Singh Ratnawat (30), resident of Dewali Nimachkheda. The team seized 6 mobile phones, 6 fake SIM cards, 7 debit cards, and cheque books used for illegal online betting operations.
