The group allegedly operated fake online gaming and betting platforms, including 'Rudra' and '100 Panel', using fake bank accounts and SIM cards to route over Rs 5 crore. Authorities seized laptops, mobile phones, ATM cards, SIM cards, and banking documents during the raid. Investigations continue to identify other members and trace the money flow.
