Two days ago, a major cricket betting racket was busted in Surajkund area. Three people were arrested and 100 mobile phones, TV set, earphones, 100 chargers etc recovered from them.
During the course of investigation, police found that the accused bookies had forged documents for securing mobile connections.
"We checked the numbers of the 100 mobile sets recovered a few days back," DCP NIT Praveen Mehta said, adding, "Almost all numbers had been managed on forged documents."
The people mentioned in the documents did not even know that the numbers had been allotted on their names, Mehta said. The kingpin of the racket, one Naresh of Haitha area in Delhi, is absconding.
