Special squads formed to expose single digit lottery trade in Kozhikode

The police have come up with stringent enforcement actions against the illegal single digit lottery business by deploying dedicated squads for flash inspections in Kozhikode district of Kerala. This move follows confidential reports from the State Lottery Department and licensed lottery agents, who raised protests against the growing number of unregulated lottery activities in the region.

One such squad formed under the leadership of Thamarassery Deputy SP Chandramohan, has exposed two shops at Ambayathode. During the flash inspection, the squad managed to seize ₹23, 020 from two shops suspected of having involvement in the illegal business.
