6 identified in illegal lottery case, no arrest

Ludhiana, January 23

In an illegal lottery case in which operators at Janakpuri had cornered a police party on Thursday, the Ludhiana police have identified six persons.

However, no arrests have been made so far.

Sources said on the first day when the FIR was registered, the police had not added names of any lottery operators or persons who had cornered the police party. Last night, the police secretly added the names of six persons in the FIR.

The police have, however, not officially revealed the names of persons.

Sources said some politicians had been supporting illegal lottery operators due to which the accused were not being arrested by the police. — TNS
