    The Delhi Police seized eleven mobile phones, one laptop, television set and digital channel receiver, after the raid.

    The bookies insisted they were first-timers but police believe they have been doing this since the beginning of the tournament on April 7.

    Notably, the police has also busted four similar syndicates of illegal betting in Hyderabad and Telangana between April 8 and 15.
