Bengaluru cops suspect foreign casino-cybercrime link

Chetan BC: For the first time, Bengaluru police have uncovered a network of agents working for casinos in Sri Lanka and other countries, suspected to be linked to cybercrime kingpins or running cybercrime rackets themselves.

These agents—active in Karnataka, Visakhapatnam, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram and Hyderabad—are allegedly involved in money laundering. They promote casinos on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Telegram, a highly placed police source said.
