Assam police arrest suspected bookie in Dhubri in IPL betting crackdown

Dhubri Police arrested a suspected bookie involved in IPL betting on Thursday, April 3 evening. The accused, identified as Rahim Ali, a resident of Ward No. 12, New Ghat, was apprehended with Rs 30,240 in cash and two mobile phones, which are believed to contain crucial evidence related to the betting network.

The operation was conducted under the leadership of Sub-Inspector Jyotirmoy Das, assisted by Woman Sub-Inspector (P) Pompi Hazarika and a team from Sadar Police Station.

The accused, Rahim Ali, has been taken into custody, and a detailed probe is underway to uncover the full extent of the operation.
