Manpasand Gymkhana Gambling Case: Police Yet To Arrest 4 Accused Named In Raid, Questions Raised Over Investigation

Questions have been raised over the investigation into the alleged gambling racket operating from Manpasand Gymkhana in Dariyapur, Ahmedabad, with police yet to arrest four accused who allegedly fled the premises during a raid by the State Monitoring Cell.

The allegations have also sparked discussion over the police action against Govind alias Gama Patel, described as a key manager of the gambling den. According to the complaint, police claimed that nothing was recovered from Patel.

Four Accused Yet To Be Arrested

According to the available information, co-manager Kiritsinh Mafaji Chavda and an Angadiya firm had allegedly provided details concerning four accused in connection with the case.

However, police have so far not arrested Chavda, Mulrajsinh alias Mulubha Rana, Satishbhai Baldevbhai Thakkar and another accused identified as Vipul, who allegedly fled when the State Monitoring Cell raided the premises.

Alleged Gambling Den Near Dariyapur Police Station

The gambling operation at Manpasand Gymkhana is alleged to have been running for several years under the guise of an entertainment facility.

The premises are located around 550 metres from the Dariyapur police station, while a police post is reportedly situated about 170 metres away.

The allegations have raised questions over how the alleged gambling activity continued in the area despite the proximity of police facilities.

Angadiya Firms Allegedly Used For Money Transfers

According to the allegations, large financial transactions linked to the gambling operation were allegedly routed through several Angadiya firms in Madhupura and Kalupur.

The transactions were allegedly carried out through both cash transfers and UPI payments from gamblers.

The names of P.M. Angadiya, R.K. Angadiya, Ramesh Kanti Angadiya and H.R. Angadiya have been mentioned in connection with the alleged movement of money. The information also names several individuals and mobile numbers allegedly used for transferring funds.

According to the allegations, the P.M. Angadiya firm in Kalupur was also allegedly using mobile numbers linked to Ajit Shah and Laxman Parmar for transactions.

Police Investigation Under Scrutiny

The State Monitoring Cell's raid has brought renewed attention to the alleged gambling operation and the role of those associated with it.

There are also allegations that efforts were made to protect Govind Patel by stating in the complaint that nothing was recovered from him. These claims, however, remain allegations and would require verification through the police investigation and available evidence.

Police are yet to arrest the four accused who allegedly escaped during the raid. Further investigation is expected to establish the alleged roles of those involved, the financial trail and the extent of the gambling network.
