Three online game frauds arrested

Three people were arrested for allegedly scamming online gamers across the country through illegal pre-hosted gaming websites, police said on Wednesday.

Shriyansh Chandrakar, Ayush Dewangan, and Yash Ganvir were operating from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, and Bangalore, they said.

Police said they were duping people by luring them to place bets on online games such as snooker, casino, cricket, poker, and Teen Patti on fake gaming websites.

The victims were initially paid small amounts to prove the authenticity of the gaming website and to gain trust.

The three men were arrested after a Sub Inspector from Cyber Police Station disguised himself as Swiggy delivery boy and went to the place, police said.
