Reports also suggest that the network which is responsible was operational since 2013. It has cheated the public by wrongly inducing them for betting. The action was taken after the agency received information that, “a network of individuals involved in cricket betting are influencing the outcome of Indian Premier League matches based on inputs received from Pakistan.”
As per the FIR, it has been revealed that the accused made mule accounts. They opened it submitting fakes names. “These bank accounts have been opened by submitting forged details such as multiple dates of birth and without due diligence done by the bank officials”.
