Vizag police arrest two men for running cricket betting racket

The City Task Force of police has arrested two persons for allegedly taking bets on the ongoing Indian Premier League matches.

ACP I Chittibabu said that V Venkata Siva Hemanth (30) and N Bujji Raju (30) were arrested from MVP Colony last night.

Police seized a multi-level communicator equipment box (through which multiple phone conversations can be carried out simultaneously), mobile phones, a laptop, an LED tv and Rs 1.74 lakh in cash from them.

The duo were taking bets on last evening's T20 match between Rising Pune Supergiant and Sunrisers Hyderabad.

A few days ago, CTF had arrested four bookies who took bets on IPL matches in the city.
