The 16 gamblers that the police have arrested were reported to be illegally running a casino in Alipur (a place in New Delhi).  In a report, the police have stated that these gamblers were found inside the farmhouse of a well-known Indian Businessman. It is worth noting that poker chips of worth Rs. 75,00,000 along with Rs. 2,00,000 in cash have also been found at the site. Besides, the police have also found playing cards from the farmhouse.

Furthermore, the main individual who was running the casino is identified by the name  Harvinder Solanki who is 45 years old and has been a teacher at a local school in Delhi before the lockdown imposed due to an increase in the number of positive Coronavirus cases in the country. Harvinder Solanki did not keep up with his teaching career and he resigned just before the lockdown was imposed in the country. According to the police, Harvinder used to regularly organize gambling events in the town and he was also the owner of his own casino that started operating just a while ago.
