Indore police arrested Mukesh Chaudhary, the 12th suspect in the online betting network linked to Nana Patwari. Chaudhary, a Bhanwarkuan resident, brought customers for bookies Sanjay Kaushal, Manish Pamnani and Dharmendra Bhat, who were in contact with a Dubai-based operator called Rohit Dubai.
Police said Rohit Dubai provided betting links to the network. Suspects would create IDs with limits up to Rs 1 crore and issue sub-IDs to agents. The investigation has also named Vinod Gidwani, Pamnani's brother-in-law, who ran a betting business from Bhopal. Over 40 other bookies are on the police radar, and more arrests are expected.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Nana Patwari's network has been under investigation since at least 2022, when Madhya Pradesh police first linked him to a pan-India betting syndicate. The Indore police are using banking data and telecom records to map the chain from local agents to Dubai-based operators. With 12 arrests and 40 more targets, the scale suggests a business generating crores in monthly turnover. The next phase will likely focus on extraditing or freezing assets of Rohit Dubai and other operators outside India. The police have not yet filed a chargesheet, which will be the first concrete test of evidence beyond phone records.
