In a significant crackdown on illegal gambling activities, local police in a northern Indian state conducted a raid and destroyed 21 slot machines seized from various unauthorized establishments.
The operation targeted underground gambling dens operating in residential areas, following complaints from local residents about noise and suspicious activities. Authorities emphasized that such operations violate national gambling laws and contribute to social issues. 
Police officials stated that the destruction of the slot machines sends a strong message to illegal gambling operators. The raid was part of an ongoing campaign to curb gambling-related crimes in the region.
Local community leaders have welcomed the police action, noting that illegal gambling operations often lead to financial losses for vulnerable families and increase criminal activities in neighborhoods. |
