A major law enforcement operation in Rishikesh has exposed a well-organized illegal casino network operating from a hotel along Haridwar Road. Authorities arrested 40 individuals, including 10 women, during a late-night raid, recovering significant gambling assets such as 3,356 casino coins and Rs. 1,37,600 in cash. The scale and sophistication of the operation indicate a structured and possibly long-running enterprise. In response, senior officials ordered the suspension of local police personnel over alleged negligence.
