An MBA graduate, having lost both financially and personally to an online cricket betting scheme, has become a beacon of justice. Exposing the deceitful operation, his efforts were pivotal in the police's successful crackdown on an elaborate betting syndicate.
The syndicate, supported by social media influencers, entrapped victims with false match-fixing tips and aggressive promotional tactics, leading to significant financial losses for many, including the whistleblower and a friend who tragically died by suicide.
The whistleblower's initiative and detailed information facilitated the arrest of five influencers and the initiation of takedown requests for fraudulent social media channels, demonstrating the critical role of individual courage in combating online crime.
